Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for therapeutic drugs. It plays a significant role in the production of compounds with potential anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. Additionally, it is employed in organic chemistry research for the creation of complex molecules and in the study of structure-activity relationships (SAR) to optimize drug efficacy. Its unique structure makes it valuable in fine chemical manufacturing and specialty chemical applications.
