Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate for synthesizing biologically active compounds. Shows potential in the development of kinase inhibitors, which are important in cancer therapy. Also utilized in the study of indazole-based derivatives for their anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its halogenated and substituted aromatic structure. Serves as a building block in the preparation of novel drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders.
