Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for targeted cancer therapies. Its structure supports binding to specific enzyme active sites, enhancing selectivity and potency. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel herbicides due to its ability to interfere with plant growth regulation. The compound’s aromatic and heterocyclic features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug-like properties such as solubility and metabolic stability.
