Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and coordinate with metal ions, enhancing binding affinity to biological targets. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials where nitrogen-rich heterocyclic structures are required. Its structural motif is found in compounds with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities.
