Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors for cancer therapy. Shows potential in targeting tyrosine kinases involved in tumor growth and signal transduction. Employed in research for developing anti-inflammatory and antiviral agents due to its heterocyclic scaffold. Its bromo functional group allows for further cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex drug-like molecules. Also utilized in the preparation of fluorescent probes for biochemical assays.
