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 medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form stable complexes with metal catalysts, enabling efficient cross-coupling reactions. Also employed in agrochemicals for the production of herbicides and fungicides, enhancing crop protection. Its structural properties make it valuable in the design of bioactive molecules with improved metabolic stability and binding affinity.
