Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules targeting inflammatory and oncological diseases. Its structure supports the formation of complex heterocyclic systems through aromatic amination and cyclization reactions. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for scaffold modification to enhance selectivity and potency in drug candidates. Also utilized in the preparation of protease inhibitors and receptor modulators due to its favorable steric and electronic properties.
