Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing compounds with enhanced metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in the preparation of pyrazole-based derivatives that exhibit fungicidal, herbicidal, or anti-inflammatory activities. Also utilized in research settings for building fluorinated heterocyclic systems to study structure-activity relationships.
