Used in pharmaceutical research as a building block for synthesizing biologically active compounds. Its structure supports development of potential drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders and antimicrobial agents. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and receptor antagonists due to its ability to interact with specific enzyme and protein targets. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new active ingredients in crop protection products. Serves as an intermediate in cross-coupling reactions to create more complex heterocyclic systems in medicinal chemistry.
