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 medicinal chemistry due to its ability to mimic pyridine and pyrazole motifs found in biologically active molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of selective protein kinase C (PKC) modulators and other targeted therapies. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides owing to its favorable binding properties with biological targets. Its structural features make it valuable in creating libraries for high-throughput screening in drug discovery.
