Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of antihypertensive and anti-inflammatory drugs. It serves as a building block for quinazoline-based compounds that exhibit kinase inhibition activity, making it valuable in research for anticancer agents. Also employed in the preparation of derivatives for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies in medicinal chemistry. Its scaffold is explored for designing new bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders and infectious diseases.
