Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Serves as a building block in the preparation of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Negishi couplings to construct complex aromatic systems for drug discovery research. Also utilized in materials science for designing organic semiconductors and luminescent compounds due to its stable aromatic and heterocyclic framework.
