Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of nicotinamide-based drugs and kinase inhibitors. It serves as a building block in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its reactive amino and ester functional groups, which allow for further chemical modifications. Commonly employed in research and development for antiviral and anticancer agents. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for creating novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity. Its structure supports conjugation in heterocyclic chemistry, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry and drug design.
