Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly kinase inhibitors and CNS-targeted drugs. Its structure supports the development of molecules with high selectivity and binding affinity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for scaffold modification in drug discovery programs. Also utilized in the preparation of fluorescent probes and imaging agents due to its favorable photophysical properties. Plays a role in the synthesis of agrochemicals and functional materials where nitrogen-rich heterocycles are required.
