Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It serves as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry, enabling the construction of complex drug molecules. Its amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Also employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds in research settings.
