Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Acts as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form stable heterocyclic structures. Employed in research for designing ligands that target specific protein receptors involved in inflammatory and neurological disorders. Also utilized in the preparation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for catalytic applications and sensor development. Its aromatic and nitrogen-containing structure enhances binding affinity in drug-receptor interactions.
