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 bioactive molecules due to its ability to form stable aromatic and heterocyclic structures. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, especially in optimizing drug candidates targeting neurological and inflammatory disorders. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides. Its dihydrochloride salt form enhances solubility and stability, making it suitable for solution-phase reactions in drug discovery.
