Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. Its structural features support binding to specific receptors, making it valuable in the design of antidepressants and anxiolytic drugs. The amine functionality allows for salt formation, improving solubility and bioavailability, while the cyclopropyl and cyclohexyl groups contribute to metabolic stability and enhanced lipophilicity, aiding blood-brain barrier penetration. It is also employed in medicinal chemistry research to explore structure-activity relationships in novel therapeutic candidates.
