Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of selective kinase inhibitors. Its protected amine groups allow for controlled stepwise reactions, making it valuable in complex organic syntheses. The presence of electron-withdrawing nitro and chloro groups enhances reactivity in cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of C–C and C–N bonds. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in drug discovery programs targeting inflammatory diseases and cancer.
