Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Its structure supports the formation of bioactive molecules by serving as a building block in heterocyclic compound design. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its conformational rigidity and hydrogen bonding capability. Also utilized in the preparation of pyrazole-based derivatives with potential antitumor and central nervous system (CNS) activity.
