Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antitubercular and antimicrobial agents. It serves as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry, enabling the formation of fused ring systems with biological activity. Also employed in the preparation of hydrazone-based compounds that show potential in coordination chemistry and as ligands for metal ions in catalytic applications. Its reactivity makes it valuable in the design of novel drug candidates and functional materials.
