Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Its structural features make it suitable for modifying selectivity and potency in drug candidates. Also explored in agrochemicals for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental safety. Commonly employed in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its ability to mimic heterocyclic motifs in bioactive molecules.
