Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its ability to undergo selective substitution reactions at the chloro positions. Commonly employed in the manufacture of antihypertensive and antiviral agents. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its structural features make it valuable in research for designing new bioactive molecules.
