Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in aromatic interactions, enhancing binding affinity to target enzymes. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and lower environmental impact. Its structural features make it suitable for use in combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening in drug discovery.
