Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective binding in drug-receptor interactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the preparation of antitumor, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the development of herbicides and pesticides due to its ability to enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability in active ingredients.
