Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It plays a role in the synthesis of complex molecules due to its reactive functional groups, which facilitate the formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds. Its application is significant in the development of compounds with potential biological activity, such as inhibitors or modulators of specific enzymes or receptors. Additionally, it is utilized in research settings for the development of novel chemical entities and in the optimization of synthetic routes for drug candidates.
