Used in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions as a key building block for synthesizing complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its functional groups enable selective transformations, allowing for the construction of biaryl compounds and heterocyclic structures. The presence of both amino and cyano groups offers multiple sites for further derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for drug discovery and development. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive compounds.
