Used in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate for synthesizing bioactive compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Shows potential in the design of kinase inhibitors due to its morpholine and amine functionality, which can enhance solubility and binding affinity. Also employed in the synthesis of novel antidepressant and antipsychotic drug candidates. Its structure supports blood-brain barrier penetration, making it valuable in neuropharmacology. Additionally, utilized in the preparation of fluorescent probes for biochemical assays.
