Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active compounds targeting central nervous system disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Also employed in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and plant growth regulators due to its ability to interact with enzymatic systems in pests and weeds. Its reactivity and functional groups make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building nitrogen-containing heterocycles.
