Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure supports the construction of more complex molecules with potential applications in cancer therapy and central nervous system disorders. The amine and ester functional groups allow for easy modification, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating diverse compound libraries during drug discovery. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials due to its heterocyclic core and reactivity profile.
