Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It also serves in agrochemical formulations, contributing to the creation of pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance bioactivity. Its structure supports derivatization in medicinal chemistry, enabling the design of compounds with improved metabolic stability and target selectivity. Additionally, it finds use in research settings for building heterocyclic compounds in drug discovery programs.
