Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly kinase inhibitors and anticancer agents. Its structure supports the development of targeted therapies by enabling selective binding to enzyme active sites. Commonly utilized in research settings for constructing complex heterocyclic systems in drug discovery. Also employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules with antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Its halogen positions allow for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry and combinatorial synthesis.
