Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of biologically active compounds due to its aromatic and amine functionalities, which allow for easy modification in drug design. Also employed in the production of agrochemicals and functional materials where nitrogen-containing heterocyclic systems are required. Its structural features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies.
