Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure supports the construction of heterocyclic systems common in drug design. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in the preparation of anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antimicrobial agents. Also utilized in agrochemical research for the development of novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and ability to form diverse molecular frameworks.
