Widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors. It serves as a key building block in agrochemicals and medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form stable amide bonds and participate in cross-coupling reactions. Its structure supports the creation of biologically active molecules, especially in the design of herbicides and antiviral agents. Commonly employed in research settings for fragment-based drug discovery because of its favorable reactivity and solubility properties.
