Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure, featuring methylsulfonyl and morpholino groups, supports binding to enzyme active sites, enhancing selectivity and potency. Commonly employed in research for anti-inflammatory and antitumor compounds due to its favorable solubility and stability in biological systems. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize drug candidates.
