Widely used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure supports the construction of pyrimidine-based bioactive molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for drug discovery. Commonly employed in the preparation of selective enzyme inhibitors due to its ability to engage in hydrogen bonding and aromatic interactions within active sites. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
