Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drugs targeting inflammation and central nervous system disorders. It serves as a building block in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds, including benzoxazoles and quinazolines, which are common scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. Also employed in the production of agrochemicals, such as herbicides and plant growth regulators, due to its ability to enhance molecular complexity in synthetic pathways. Its amide and amine functional groups allow for easy modification, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening for drug discovery.
