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 easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing drug candidates. It is also employed in agrochemicals to create herbicides and pesticides due to its ability to enhance binding selectivity. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of ligands for catalysis and in materials science for developing nitrogen-containing organic frameworks.
