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 drug discovery programs targeting cancer and inflammatory diseases. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and organic semiconductors due to its aromatic and heterocyclic properties. Commonly utilized in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build complex molecules.
