Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its structure enables selective binding in biological targets, making it valuable in drug discovery. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-rich heterocycles, it supports the optimization of pharmacokinetic properties such as solubility and metabolic stability. Also utilized in research settings for generating compound libraries in high-throughput screening.
