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 modifications, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating analogs with improved biological activity. Commonly employed in research settings to develop potent and selective drug candidates targeting various signaling pathways. Also utilized in the preparation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both ester and morpholine functionalities, which enhance solubility and binding affinity.
