Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in research settings to design compounds with potential anticancer, antiviral, or anti-inflammatory activity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to modulate biological activity in target organisms.
