Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents and kinase inhibitors. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to enhance binding affinity and selectivity in drug candidates. Also employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules and functional materials where aromatic heterocycles contribute to electronic or optical properties. Its amine group allows for easy derivatization, enabling rapid exploration of structure-activity relationships in drug discovery programs.
