Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and fungicides due to its stable heterocyclic structure. Also employed in research for designing new bioactive molecules with antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory properties. Its amine and methoxy groups allow for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies.
