Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form stable heterocyclic structures that interact with biological targets. Its amine functionality allows for easy modification, enabling the creation of diverse compound libraries for drug discovery. Commonly employed in research settings to design molecules with potential anti-inflammatory, antiviral, or neuroprotective activities.
