Used as a key 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 medicinal chemistry for creating drug candidates targeting cancer, inflammation, and neurological disorders. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance binding affinity with biological targets. Commonly utilized in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig, to build complex aromatic amines in both academic and industrial settings.
