Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. It serves as a key building block in the development of kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents targeting neurological disorders and inflammation. Its structure allows for easy modification, making it valuable in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Commonly employed in the preparation of drug candidates due to its favorable solubility and binding properties. Also utilized in the creation of receptor modulators, particularly for central nervous system targets.
