Used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly as an intermediate in the production of antiviral and anticancer agents. Its structure supports the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules targeting cellular signaling pathways. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing herbicides and plant growth regulators due to its ability to interact with enzymatic systems in pests and pathogens. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for scaffold modification to enhance drug potency and selectivity.
