Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents. Its structure allows for easy modification, making it valuable in creating compounds that can interact with biological targets such as enzymes and receptors. Commonly employed in the production of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Also utilized in agrochemicals for developing new pesticides due to its ability to enhance molecular binding and stability. Frequently appears in research settings for designing novel heterocyclic compounds with potential therapeutic effects.
