Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating biologically active compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build complex drug molecules. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its nitrogen-rich heterocyclic framework.
