Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to undergo cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in research settings for designing bioactive molecules with potential antitumor and anti-inflammatory properties. Also utilized in the preparation of receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, contributing to targeted therapy drug discovery.
