Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of pharmaceutical agents. It serves as a building block for heterocyclic compounds with potential antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its hydrazide functionality allows for easy conversion into Schiff bases, which are often explored for their pharmacological activities. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry research for designing new drug candidates targeting infectious diseases and inflammation-related disorders. Also utilized in the preparation of coordination complexes with metal ions to study their catalytic or biological behavior.
