Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where nitrogen-containing heterocycles are required. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating complex molecules with biological activity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. Also utilized in agrochemical research for the design of novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and stability profile in various coupling reactions.
