Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure allows for selective binding to enzyme targets, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. Also employed in the preparation of fluorinated heterocyclic compounds to enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug candidates. Commonly utilized in research settings for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its reactive amine and halogen sites, enabling diverse functionalization.
