Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents. It serves as a building block in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Also employed in the manufacture of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic and heterocyclic structure. Its derivatives are explored in agrochemicals for crop protection products. Additionally, it finds use in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal complexes in catalysis.
