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 functionalization, making it valuable in constructing complex heterocyclic systems found in active drug molecules. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in targeted therapies, including anticancer and anti-inflammatory compounds. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and stability in various coupling reactions.
