Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure enables effective binding in biologically active molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing drugs with enhanced potency and selectivity. Also employed in agrochemicals for creating novel pesticides and herbicides due to its favorable reactivity and stability. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of functional materials and heterocyclic compounds for research applications.
