Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its ability to form complex heterocyclic structures. Its structural features enable effective binding to biological targets, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for drug design. Also employed in agrochemical research for developing new herbicides and pesticides owing to its reactivity and stability in various synthetic pathways.
