Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure supports the development of drugs targeting inflammatory diseases, cancer, and central nervous system disorders. The amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, making it valuable in building complex molecules during drug discovery. Commonly employed in the preparation of pyrazole-containing analogs to explore structure-activity relationships. Also utilized in the development of labeled compounds for metabolic and binding studies.
