Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build complex molecules for drug discovery. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new active ingredients with improved efficacy and selectivity.
