Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the construction of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are common in drugs targeting cancer and inflammatory diseases. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing new pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance molecular stability and binding affinity. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for scaffold modification and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
