Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure supports functionalization at multiple sites, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing biologically active molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of compounds targeting neurological disorders and inflammatory diseases due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and modulate enzyme activity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and reduced environmental impact.
