Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active molecules by serving as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for modifying pyrimidine-based compounds to enhance binding affinity and selectivity toward target enzymes. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the design of novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to influence metabolic pathways in pests and weeds. Its amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening for drug discovery.
