Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. 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 biaryl or substituted amine motifs found in bioactive molecules. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
