Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its reactive chlorine atoms, which allow further functionalization. Commonly employed in research and development of targeted therapies, especially in oncology and inflammatory diseases. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for creating novel pesticides with improved efficacy. Its structural features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
