Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinamide-based drugs and kinase inhibitors. It serves as a building block in the preparation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both ester and amino functional groups, which allow for easy modification and incorporation into more complex structures. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for the design of antitumor, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in agrochemical research for the development of novel pesticides and herbicides. Its versatility in heterocyclic synthesis makes it valuable in creating libraries for drug discovery.
