Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in antimalarial drug development. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with biological activity against Plasmodium species. Also employed in research for developing novel kinase inhibitors due to the quinoline core's affinity for enzyme binding sites. Shows potential in agrochemicals for crop protection agents, leveraging its stability and reactivity. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize drug candidates.
