Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of compounds with anti-inflammatory and kinase inhibitory activities. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for designing active ingredients in drug discovery programs. Its structural features make it suitable for modifying biological activity in target molecules, especially in research focused on cancer and central nervous system disorders. Also employed in the preparation of specialty organic materials and sensors due to its aromatic and hydrogen-bonding properties.
