Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for targeted cancer therapies. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with high potency. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides due to its ability to enhance bioactivity and metabolic stability in heterocyclic compounds. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for scaffold modification to improve drug-like properties such as solubility and binding affinity.
