Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure supports binding to specific enzyme targets involved in cell signaling pathways. Commonly utilized in research and development of targeted therapies for oncology, especially in compounds aimed at inhibiting protein kinases involved in tumor growth and proliferation. Also employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules for studying neurological disorders due to its ability to cross biological membranes effectively.
