Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for functionalization at multiple sites, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyrimidine-based drug candidates. Commonly employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and antimicrobial agents due to its ability to enhance binding affinity and selectivity in target molecules. Also utilized in research settings for the design of novel heterocyclic compounds with potential therapeutic applications.
