Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with fungicidal, herbicidal, and insecticidal properties. Its nitrile and heterocyclic structure makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyrazole-based drug candidates, including kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Also employed in the preparation of functional materials and ligands for catalysis due to its ability to coordinate with metal centers.
