Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure allows for selective binding in biological systems, making it valuable in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with high potency. Commonly employed in research settings for designing compounds targeting neurological disorders and inflammatory diseases due to its ability to cross cellular membranes and interact with enzyme active sites. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing new pesticides with improved environmental profiles.
