Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-containing ring systems with potential antiviral, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance binding affinity in target molecules.
