Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of heterocyclic scaffolds with potential biological activity. Its structure supports the formation of nitrogen-rich ring systems, which are common in medicinal chemistry for targeting enzymes and receptors. Commonly employed in research settings to build complex molecules for drug discovery, especially in the design of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive agents. Also utilized in the preparation of functionalized purine analogs and nucleoside derivatives.
