Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and central nervous system (CNS) active agents. Its structure enables effective binding in bioactive molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing drugs with improved selectivity and potency. Commonly employed in research settings for the preparation of heterocyclic compounds with potential antiviral, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its favorable reactivity and stability in synthetic pathways.
