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 construction of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are common in drugs targeting cancer, inflammation, and central nervous system disorders. Also employed in agrochemicals for the production of novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and functional group compatibility. Serves as a building block in organic synthesis, enabling carbon-carbon bond formation and functional group transformations in research laboratories and industrial processes.
