Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its halogen substituents allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies due to its ability to modulate electronic and steric properties in drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
