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 the preparation of biologically active pyrazole derivatives with potential anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antitumor properties. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in π-π interactions. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new pesticides and herbicides. Its nitrile and amino functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and drug discovery.
