Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Shows activity in modulating biological pathways related to inflammation and cell proliferation. Employed in research settings to design novel bioactive molecules due to its ability to enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing new herbicides and pesticides with improved selectivity. Its structural features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
