Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with pyrazole scaffolds. Its iodo functionality allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex organic structures. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for the preparation of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in the research of novel heterocyclic compounds with potential antitumor and antimicrobial activities.
