Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure supports the formation of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are common in drug molecules. It is also employed in agrochemical synthesis for creating novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance binding selectivity. Additionally, it serves as a building block in organic synthesis, facilitating carbon–nitrogen bond formation in cross-coupling reactions.
