Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure allows for effective binding to enzyme active sites, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the preparation of sulfonamide derivatives with enhanced biological activity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new pesticides due to its electron-withdrawing properties and stability. Suitable for cross-coupling reactions in organic synthesis, facilitating the construction of complex heterocyclic systems.
