Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure supports the formation of targeted therapies by enabling selective binding to enzyme active sites. Commonly utilized in research settings for constructing complex heterocyclic systems in drug discovery. Also employed in the preparation of serotonin receptor modulators due to its favorable electronic and steric properties. Suitable for cross-coupling reactions, allowing for efficient introduction of aryl or heteroaryl groups in medicinal chemistry campaigns.
