Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating compounds with potential anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities. Commonly employed in research settings to build more complex heterocyclic systems. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the design of novel pesticides and herbicides due to its favorable reactivity and stability.
