Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) targeting inflammatory diseases and neurological disorders. Its structure enables effective binding to specific enzyme sites, enhancing drug efficacy. Also employed in agrochemicals for the creation of novel pesticides due to its stability and reactivity. Commonly utilized in research and development within medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
