Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory drugs. Its structure supports the formation of bioactive molecules by serving as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its ability to mimic peptide bonds and participate in hydrogen bonding. Also utilized in the preparation of pyrazole-based derivatives with potential antitumor and antiviral activities.
