Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in Suzuki and Negishi coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds in drug discovery pipelines. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with improved efficacy and selectivity.
