Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in constructing complex heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in drug discovery programs, especially in the design of bioactive molecules targeting inflammatory and oncological pathways. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides due to its reactivity and ability to form stable derivatives.
