Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in heterocyclic ring systems. Its structure supports the design of compounds with high selectivity and potency in drug candidates. Also employed in agrochemical research for developing new herbicides and pesticides owing to its bioactive scaffold.
