Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the formation of hydrogen bonds and aromatic interactions, making it valuable in drug design for targeting specific enzymes and receptors. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry research to optimize lead compounds for improved potency and selectivity. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials due to its stable heterocyclic core and derivatization potential.
