Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic receptor modulators and kinase inhibitors. Commonly employed in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for treatments targeting neurological disorders and cancer. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic systems. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the design of novel pesticides due to its ability to enhance binding affinity in bioactive molecules.
