Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in constructing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build complex molecules. Found in research settings for developing kinase inhibitors and other bioactive agents. Also utilized in materials science for creating organic semiconductors and fluorescent dyes due to its electron-deficient aromatic system.
