Used primarily as a synthetic intermediate in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure supports modification at multiple sites, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing potency and selectivity. Commonly employed in the synthesis of analogs for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Also utilized in the preparation of compounds targeting inflammatory and oncological pathways. Suitable for solid-phase and solution-phase combinatorial chemistry approaches.
