Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of biologically active compounds due to its ability to undergo cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki and Heck reactions, enabling the formation of complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies in drug discovery programs targeting inflammatory diseases and central nervous system disorders. Also utilized in the production of agrochemicals and functional materials where nitrogen-containing heterocycles are required.
