Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating analogs in drug discovery programs. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to build complex heterocyclic systems. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new active ingredients with improved stability and activity. The tetrahydropyranyl (THP) group acts as a protective group, facilitating controlled reactivity during multi-step syntheses.
