Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to enhance binding affinity and selectivity in drug molecules. Commonly found in research targeting inflammatory diseases and neurological disorders owing to its favorable pharmacokinetic properties. Also employed in the preparation of bioactive heterocyclic compounds for use in high-throughput screening and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
