Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing drugs with improved metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in the preparation of compounds targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory diseases. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the creation of novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance molecular specificity and environmental stability.
