Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block for compounds requiring amine or carbamate functionalities, enabling the formation of more complex molecules with biological activity. Its hydrochloride salt form enhances stability and solubility, making it suitable for reactions in aqueous or polar environments. Commonly applied in the synthesis of active ingredients in crop protection agents and medicinal agents targeting neurological or inflammatory pathways.
