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 such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build complex heterocyclic systems found in drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with enhanced stability and target specificity.
