Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders. It serves as a building block in the preparation of selective kinase inhibitors and bioactive molecules with potential antitumor and anti-inflammatory properties. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies. Also employed in the creation of agrochemicals and functional dyes due to its electron-rich aromatic core and reactive amino group.
