Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure supports the design of compounds targeting specific enzyme pathways, making it valuable in drug discovery. Commonly employed in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for treatments involving inflammatory diseases, cancer, and viral infections. The compound’s reactivity and stability allow efficient coupling reactions, facilitating the construction of complex heterocyclic systems found in modern therapeutics.
