Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting cancer and inflammatory diseases. Its structure supports binding to specific enzyme active sites, enhancing drug efficacy. Commonly employed in research for developing tyrosine kinase and JAK2 inhibitors. Also utilized in agrochemicals for designing novel pesticides due to its electron-withdrawing groups and stability. Suitable for use in medicinal chemistry for scaffold modification and structure-activity relationship studies.
