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 form stable heterocyclic structures that interact with biological targets. Commonly employed in the preparation of small molecule drugs targeting inflammatory diseases and certain solid tumors. Its structural features allow for easy modification, enabling optimization of pharmacokinetic properties such as solubility and metabolic stability. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing new herbicides and plant growth regulators.
