Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in aromatic interactions, enhancing drug binding affinity. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials where nitrogen-containing heterocycles are required. Its structural features make it suitable for modifying solubility and metabolic stability in drug design.
