Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure allows for selective modification, making it valuable in creating compounds with high biological activity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in drug discovery programs targeting oncology and inflammatory diseases. Also utilized in the preparation of analogs for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its rigid cyclopropyl moiety and functional handle for derivatization.
