Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its reactive nitrile and amine functionalities, enabling coupling reactions and ring formations. Its structure supports the design of compounds with high selectivity and potency in targeted therapies. Also employed in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profiles.
