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 bioactive molecules due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in π-π stacking interactions. Also employed in the creation of agrochemicals and functional materials where nitrogen-containing heterocycles enhance performance. Its structural features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing potency and selectivity in drug candidates.
