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 scaffolds. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, especially in drugs targeting inflammatory diseases and neurological disorders. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new pesticides and herbicides. Its amino and carboxylic functional groups allow easy modification for creating diverse compound libraries in drug discovery.
