Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building more complex molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) targeting oncology and infectious diseases. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to interact with biological targets in pests and pathogens.
