Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic systems. It serves in the preparation of bioactive molecules with potential antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, or antimicrobial properties. Its hydrazine functionality allows for derivatization into hydrazones and azoles, which are common scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel plant growth regulators or pesticides.
