Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceutical research targeting kinase inhibitors. Its protected pyrrolopyridine core allows selective functionalization, making it valuable in developing drug candidates for cancer and inflammatory diseases. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build complex heterocyclic systems. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and efficacy.
