Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for targeted cancer therapies. Its structure supports the design of molecules with high selectivity and binding affinity to specific enzyme active sites. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry research to optimize drug candidates due to its favorable pharmacokinetic properties and metabolic stability. Also utilized in the preparation of bioactive heterocyclic compounds for use in biochemical assays and high-throughput screening.
