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 anti-inflammatory, anticancer, or neuroprotective activities. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty chemicals due to its nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold. Commonly utilized in research settings for building more complex molecules through coupling reactions or condensation processes.
