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 medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in π-π stacking interactions, enhancing binding affinity to target proteins. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials where nitrogen-rich heterocycles are required. Its structural features make it suitable for use in combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening for drug discovery.
