Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure allows for selective binding in medicinal chemistry applications, making it valuable in drug discovery. Commonly employed in reactions involving heterocyclic ring formation, it supports the creation of complex molecules with potential anticancer, antiviral, or anti-inflammatory properties. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients due to its reactivity and stability in various coupling reactions.
