Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting cancer and inflammatory diseases. Its structure allows for selective modification, making it valuable in developing drugs that modulate signaling pathways involved in cell growth and immune response. Commonly employed in the preparation of BTK (Bruton's tyrosine kinase) and JAK (Janus kinase) inhibitors. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing bioactive molecules with pesticidal or fungicidal activity. Its versatility in cross-coupling reactions supports its role in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic systems.
