Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the formation of complex heterocyclic systems, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for drug discovery. Commonly employed in research settings to construct molecules with potential antiviral, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Also utilized in the preparation of receptor modulators due to its ability to interact with biological targets through hydrogen bonding and pi-pi stacking interactions.
