Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in antiviral and anticancer compounds. Its structure supports the development of kinase inhibitors, which play a role in modulating cellular signaling pathways involved in disease progression. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to the presence of reactive sites that allow for further functionalization. Also employed in agrochemical research for the design of novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
