Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. It serves as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry, enabling the construction of complex pyrazole derivatives with biological activity. Its amino and nitrile functional groups allow for further derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for drug discovery and optimization. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials due to its structural versatility.
