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 for constructing biologically active molecules targeting tyrosine kinases and other enzyme systems involved in cell signaling. Its bromo and nitrogen-rich structure allows for easy functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in drug discovery and optimization. Also employed in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds with potential antiviral and anti-inflammatory activities.
