Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as an intermediate for developing bioactive compounds, particularly in the production of kinase inhibitors and antitumor agents. It serves as a building block in the construction of complex heterocyclic systems due to its reactive chloro and aryl substituents. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to introduce aryl or amino groups. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity. Its methoxyphenyl moiety enhances electron-donating properties, beneficial in tuning the electronic characteristics of final active molecules.
