Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of nicotinic receptor ligands and central nervous system agents. It serves as a building block for hydrazine-containing heterocycles, which are important in medicinal chemistry for creating bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of analogs for neurological disorder treatments, including those targeting Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s diseases. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides with selective activity. Its reactivity allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and drug discovery pipelines.
