Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure supports the design of compounds with high selectivity toward specific signaling pathways involved in tumor growth. Also employed in research settings to explore new bioactive molecules due to its ability to participate in cycloaddition and condensation reactions, enabling the construction of complex heterocyclic systems. Shows potential in the creation of anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents through derivatization at the amino and nitrile functional groups.
