Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure allows for selective substitution reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki-Miyaura and Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build biaryl or arylamine motifs found in bioactive molecules. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and fungicides due to its stability and reactivity profile.
