Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in constructing complex heterocyclic systems for drug discovery. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build biologically active molecules. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
