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 agrochemicals for creating herbicides and pesticides due to its ability to enhance biological activity. Its amine functionality allows easy modification for use in medicinal chemistry, enabling the creation of compounds with improved selectivity and potency. Also employed in the preparation of functional materials and dyes where nitrogen-rich heterocycles are required.
