Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure supports conjugation in medicinal chemistry, enabling the formation of more complex drug candidates. Commonly utilized in research settings for designing compounds with potential anticancer, anti-inflammatory, or neuroactive properties. Also serves as a building block in the preparation of functionalized piperazine derivatives, which are prevalent in central nervous system agents and receptor modulators.
