Ethyl 4-acetylbenzoate is used as a reagent to synthesize pyrazoles (e.g. 1H-Pyrazole [P842195]). Ethyl 4-acetylbenzoate is also used as a reagent to synthesize chiral hydrazines (e.g. (S)-[2-(Benzyloxy)propylidene]hydrazinecarboxaldehyde [B288000]) from the catalytic enantioselective hydrogenation of N-alkoxycarbonyl hydrazones.
