Widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, especially in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating complex drug candidates. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build aryl-aryl or aryl-amine bonds. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the production of herbicides and fungicides due to its stability and reactivity profile. Preferred in medicinal chemistry for its ability to enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity in target compounds.
