Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its protected pyrazole ring allows for selective functionalization in multi-step reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty heterocyclic compounds where controlled reactivity is required. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) protection enables compatibility with various reaction conditions, facilitating its use in solid-phase and combinatorial synthesis.
