Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating complex heterocyclic systems found in drug candidates. Commonly employed in agrochemical research for designing new pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and ability to form stable derivatives. Also utilized in materials science for constructing nitrogen-containing organic frameworks with potential applications in optoelectronics.
