Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) modulators. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with potential anxiolytic and anticonvulsant activities. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyrazolodiazepine derivatives that interact with GABA receptors. Also utilized in research settings to explore new bioactive molecules and in the preparation of selective kinase inhibitors for oncology studies.
