Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active molecules that target neurological disorders and inflammatory conditions. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles with potential therapeutic effects. Also utilized in research settings to explore new drug candidates due to its reactivity and functional group compatibility in multi-step organic syntheses.
