Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of biologically active compounds due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in π-π stacking interactions. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies targeting inflammatory and neurological disorders. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new pesticides with improved selectivity and efficacy.
