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 ability to form heterocyclic frameworks common in drug molecules. Its structure supports the design of compounds with high selectivity and potency in targeting specific enzymes involved in disease pathways. Also applied in agrochemical research for developing new herbicides and pesticides, leveraging its reactivity and functional group compatibility in multi-step organic synthesis.
