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 medicinal chemistry for constructing complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build biologically active molecules. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
