Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the formation of complex heterocyclic systems, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates. Commonly employed in research settings to construct novel scaffolds with potential therapeutic activity, especially in oncology and central nervous system disorders. Also utilized in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide-like synthesis due to its stability and reactivity profile.
