Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to the reactivity of the nitrile group and the aromatic pyrazole ring, which enhances binding to biological targets. Commonly employed in research and development of anti-inflammatory and antitumor agents. Also utilized in agrochemicals for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and drug discovery.
