Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties. Its aldehyde functional group allows for easy modification, making it valuable in constructing more complex heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in condensation reactions to form Schiff bases, which are studied for their pharmacological potential. Also utilized in the preparation of pyrazole-based dyes and fluorescent probes for chemical sensing and imaging applications.
