Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for the introduction of azetidine moieties into larger molecules, enhancing metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for drug discovery programs targeting cancer, inflammation, and central nervous system disorders. Also utilized in the preparation of functionalized aniline derivatives for use in agrochemicals and specialty materials.
