Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting kinase inhibition. Its structure enables functionalization at multiple sites, making it valuable in drug discovery for developing antitumor, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory agents. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to introduce heterocyclic aldehyde motifs in medicinal chemistry. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
