Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds with potential therapeutic activity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance binding affinity and metabolic stability in target compounds.
