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 binding in medicinal chemistry applications, making it valuable in drug discovery. Commonly employed in the preparation of compounds targeting neurological disorders and inflammatory diseases due to its ability to cross biological membranes and interact with specific enzyme systems. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
