Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for constructing biologically active molecules due to its ability to engage in hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions. Commonly employed in the preparation of compounds targeting cancer, metabolic disorders, and central nervous system diseases. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new pesticides and plant growth regulators. Its structural features make it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening for drug discovery.
