Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating complex nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build biaryl or arylamine systems found in bioactive molecules. Also utilized in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory diseases. Its halogen positions enable sequential substitution, offering flexibility in multi-step organic synthesis.
