Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders. It serves as a building block in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules due to its ability to participate in hydrogen bonding and aromatic interactions. Also employed in agrochemicals for the creation of novel pesticides and herbicides, leveraging its structural stability and reactivity. Its derivatives are explored in materials science for designing functional organic compounds with electronic properties.
