Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form stable heterocyclic structures that interact with biological targets. Its nitrile and amine functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, enabling the creation of diverse compound libraries for drug discovery. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
