Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in constructing complex nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Commonly employed in agrochemicals for the production of herbicides and insecticides due to its reactivity and stability. Also utilized in research for the preparation of fluorescent probes and functional materials where halogen and amino groups enable coupling reactions like Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations.
