Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It exhibits utility in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to enhance binding affinity and selectivity toward specific enzyme targets. Also employed in the design of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds owing to its favorable physicochemical properties and blood-brain barrier permeability. Additionally, it serves as a building block in agrochemicals for creating novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profiles.
