Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It serves as a building block in agrochemicals for creating novel pesticides and fungicides due to its stable heterocyclic structure. Also employed in research for designing new pyrazole-based compounds with potential biological activity. Its nitrile group allows for further functionalization, enabling diverse chemical modifications in drug discovery and material science applications.
