Used as a key 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 creating complex heterocyclic systems found in drug candidates. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds through nucleophilic substitution or condensation reactions. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory diseases.
