Used as a key 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 ability to form hydrogen bonds and engage in π-π stacking interactions, enhancing binding affinity to target proteins. Commonly employed in the preparation of small molecule drugs targeting tyrosine kinases and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing bioactive molecules with pesticidal or herbicidal activity. Its structural features make it suitable for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies in drug discovery programs.
