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 carboxamide functional groups, which allow for easy modification and incorporation into larger heterocyclic systems. Also applied in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides. Its structural features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug potency and selectivity.
