Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and central nervous system agents. Its structure serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for constructing compounds with potential antipsychotic, antidepressant, or anti-inflammatory activity. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig to introduce the benzoisoxazole scaffold into target molecules. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its stability and reactivity profile.
