Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure allows for selective modifications, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug potency and metabolic stability. Commonly employed in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) targeting inflammatory and oncological diseases. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing herbicides and pesticides due to its reactivity and ability to interact with biological targets in pests and weeds.
