Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of selective kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. It serves as a building block in drug discovery due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in aromatic interactions, enhancing binding affinity in biologically active molecules. Commonly employed in the development of central nervous system (CNS) drugs and anti-inflammatory compounds. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the design of novel pesticides and herbicides owing to its structural stability and reactivity. Its methoxy and amino groups allow for easy functionalization, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and medicinal research.
