Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in π-π stacking interactions, enhancing binding affinity to target proteins. Also employed in the preparation of pyrrole-pyridine derivatives with potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. Its structural motif is found in compounds studied for neurological disorders and metabolic diseases.
