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 medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in aromatic interactions, enhancing drug-receptor binding. Also employed in agrochemicals for the design of novel pesticides with improved selectivity and lower environmental impact. Its structural features make it valuable in optimizing the metabolic stability and bioavailability of active compounds.
