Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its reactive amino and nitrile functional groups, which allow for further chemical modifications. Also employed in the creation of agrochemicals and functional materials, including organic semiconductors, where nitrogen-rich heterocyclic frameworks enhance electronic properties. Its structure supports hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking, making it valuable in crystal engineering and supramolecular chemistry applications.
