Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building more complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules targeting specific enzymes in disease pathways. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new crop protection agents due to its reactivity and stability in various reaction conditions.
