Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activity. It serves in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other medicinal agents targeting inflammatory and neurological disorders. Its structure allows for functionalization that enhances drug-like properties, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research. Also explored in agrochemicals for designing novel pesticides due to its ability to interact with biological targets in pests.
