Used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in developing compounds with biological activity such as kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. It serves as a key intermediate in creating heterocyclic structures that enhance binding affinity and selectivity in drug molecules. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its stable aromatic framework and reactivity. Its amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening for new active ingredients.
