Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It plays a role in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its ability to form stable heterocyclic scaffolds that interact with biological targets. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, it helps optimize drug candidates for improved potency and selectivity. Also utilized in the manufacture of agrochemicals and in research settings for the design of novel bioactive molecules.
