Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of pyrazole-based active ingredients. Its aldehyde functional group allows for easy modification in organic reactions, making it valuable in building complex molecules. Commonly utilized in the production of crop protection agents, including insecticides and herbicides, due to the biological activity associated with the pyrazole scaffold. Also employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing inhibitors and bioactive compounds targeting specific enzymes or receptors.
