Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of bioactive molecules due to its ability to engage in hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions, enhancing binding affinity to target proteins. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity. Its heterocyclic structure contributes to metabolic stability, making it valuable in optimizing drug-like properties in medicinal chemistry.
