Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its nitrogen-rich heterocyclic structure, which enhances binding affinity to biological targets. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials where aromatic and halogenated scaffolds are required. Its reactivity allows for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, enabling diverse molecular design in drug discovery and materials science.
