Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for targeted cancer therapies. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form stable heterocyclic structures that enhance binding affinity to specific enzyme targets. Its derivatives are explored for anti-inflammatory and antiviral applications, especially in modulating cellular signaling pathways. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and reduced environmental impact.
