Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure allows for selective binding to enzyme active sites, making it valuable in drug discovery. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to introduce heterocyclic systems into target molecules. Also utilized in the preparation of bioactive molecules with antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Preferred in medicinal chemistry due to its stability and reactivity profile in solid-phase and solution-phase synthesis.
