Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Commonly employed in the preparation of compounds targeting inflammatory diseases, cancer, and central nervous system disorders. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance binding affinity in active ingredients.
