Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Commonly employed in the preparation of compounds targeting neurological disorders and inflammatory conditions due to its ability to cross biological membranes and interact with specific enzyme active sites. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and reduced toxicity.
