Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Its nitrile and heterocyclic structure makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building bioactive molecules. It is also employed in agrochemical research for designing new pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance molecular binding and stability. Commonly utilized in cross-coupling reactions to create more complex pyrazole derivatives with tailored biological activity.
