Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and selective COX-2 inhibitors. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules with analgesic and antipyretic properties. Also employed in research for designing novel heterocyclic compounds with potential anticancer and antimicrobial activities. Its amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building diverse compound libraries.
