Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building heterocyclic compounds. It is also employed in agrochemical research for designing new pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance molecular binding and selectivity. Additionally, it serves in the preparation of dyes and functional materials where nitrogen-rich heterocycles are required.
