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 the preparation of biologically active compounds due to its ability to undergo cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki and Buchwald-Hartwig aminations. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies in drug discovery programs targeting inflammatory diseases and central nervous system disorders. Also utilized in the fabrication of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials owing to its nitrogen-rich heterocyclic structure.
