Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and antibacterial agents. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that target specific enzyme pathways. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules in medicinal chemistry research. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for developing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity. Its aldehyde and amine groups enable diverse coupling reactions, supporting its role in building complex heterocyclic systems.
