Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in heterocyclic ring systems. Commonly employed in the preparation of drugs targeting inflammatory diseases, cancer, and neurological disorders. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the design of novel pesticides and herbicides owing to its structural compatibility with bioactive molecules. Its reactivity allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening for drug discovery.
