Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, 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 stable heterocyclic structures that interact with biological targets. Commonly employed in the preparation of compounds exhibiting anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antitumor activities. Its amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, enabling the creation of diverse compound libraries for drug discovery and structure-activity relationship studies.
