Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals targeting cancer and inflammatory diseases. Its structure allows for selective binding to enzyme active sites, making it valuable in drug discovery programs focused on protein kinases such as JAK and BRAF. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for scaffold modification and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Also utilized in the preparation of bioactive molecules due to its stability and reactivity in cross-coupling reactions.
