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 supports the formation of biologically active molecules by serving as a scaffold in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in research settings for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles with potential therapeutic effects. Also utilized in the preparation of compounds targeting neurological disorders and inflammatory conditions due to its favorable reactivity and stability in multi-step syntheses.
