Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure allows for selective modification, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug potency and selectivity. Commonly employed in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) targeting oncology and infectious diseases. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides due to its ability to enhance bioactivity in heterocyclic compounds.
