Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory diseases. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to introduce aryl or amino groups, enabling the optimization of drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and efficacy.
