Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting neurological disorders. It serves as a protected amine derivative, enabling selective reactions in multi-step syntheses of kinase inhibitors and CNS-active agents. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing heterocyclic scaffolds with improved metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in the development of agrochemicals and fluorescent probes due to its stable isoxazole core and modifiable amino group.
