Used in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive molecules, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and central nervous system agents. Its structure supports the creation of complex heterocyclic compounds with potential antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and neuroactive properties. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions like Suzuki-Miyaura and Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build advanced drug candidates. Also utilized in materials science for constructing nitrogen-containing organic semiconductors due to its electron-deficient aromatic framework.
