Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure enables functionalization at multiple sites, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing biologically active molecules. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions and condensation processes to build complex heterocyclic systems found in targeted therapies. Also utilized in the preparation of selective inhibitors for neurological and inflammatory disorders due to its ability to interact with specific enzyme active sites.
