Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure supports binding to specific enzyme targets involved in cell signaling pathways, making it valuable in oncology drug research. Also utilized in agrochemicals for designing novel pesticides due to its ability to modulate biological activity in targeted organisms. Its nitrile and pyrimidine groups enhance molecular interactions, improving efficacy and selectivity in final active compounds.
