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 reactive amine and heterocyclic structure. Its derivatives are explored in medicinal chemistry for anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective agents. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides. The compound's versatility in coupling reactions makes it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening for drug discovery.
