Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for targeted cancer therapies. Its structure allows for selective binding to enzyme active sites, making it valuable in drug discovery. Commonly employed in research settings to optimize potency and bioavailability of new medicinal agents. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing bioactive molecules with pesticidal or herbicidal activity. Its reactivity supports derivatization for building complex heterocyclic systems in organic synthesis.
