Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment and anti-inflammatory agents. Its structure supports binding to enzyme active sites, enhancing selectivity and potency. Also employed in agrochemicals for designing herbicides and fungicides due to its stability and reactivity. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for scaffold modification to improve pharmacokinetic properties, and in organic chemistry research to create diverse derivatives for pharmacological testing.
