Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate for synthesizing kinase inhibitors, particularly in the development of anticancer agents. It shows potential in targeting tyrosine kinases involved in cell signaling pathways that regulate tumor growth and progression. Its structure allows for selective binding and modulation of enzyme activity, making it valuable in optimizing drug candidates for improved potency and selectivity. Also explored in agrochemical research for designing bioactive molecules with pesticidal or herbicidal properties.
