Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting kinase inhibitors. Its structure enables functionalization at multiple sites, making it valuable in drug discovery for developing anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antiviral agents. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to introduce heterocyclic moieties into larger molecular frameworks. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its electron-deficient core and good binding affinity.
