Used in organic synthesis as a key intermediate for the preparation of various heterocyclic compounds. It is particularly valuable in the development of pharmaceuticals, especially in the synthesis of active ingredients for drugs targeting neurological disorders and cancer. Its reactivity makes it suitable for constructing complex molecular structures in medicinal chemistry research. Additionally, it is employed in the production of agrochemicals, contributing to the development of pesticides and herbicides. Its role in cross-coupling reactions and as a building block for pyrimidine derivatives highlights its importance in advanced chemical synthesis.
