Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors. Its structure allows for selective modification in drug design, making it valuable in creating potent bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in research settings for constructing complex organic molecules where a morpholine ring and halogenated aromatic system are required. Also utilized in the preparation of antitumor and anti-inflammatory agents due to its reactivity and ability to participate in cross-coupling reactions.
