Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating analogs with improved potency and selectivity. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-nitrogen or carbon-carbon bonds, it contributes to the construction of complex heterocyclic systems found in drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability in target compounds.
