Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure supports the formation of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are common in drugs targeting neurological disorders and inflammatory conditions. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides due to its ability to enhance binding affinity with biological targets. The chloro and amino functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies.
