Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. Its structure supports the creation of biologically active molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research. Also employed in the preparation of organic semiconductors and fluorescent dyes due to its electron-deficient aromatic framework. Commonly utilized in cross-coupling reactions to build complex heterocyclic systems for drug discovery and materials science.
