Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure supports the construction of pyrimidine-based drug candidates, which are common in treatments for cancer and infectious diseases. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing herbicides and plant growth regulators due to its ability to interact with biological targets in cellular signaling pathways. Commonly utilized in combinatorial chemistry and medicinal chemistry workflows for scaffold modification and lead optimization.
