Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of a protected amine group and a conformationally constrained azepane ring. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates targeting neurological disorders. Also utilized in the preparation of selective receptor modulators where steric bulk and nitrogen positioning influence binding affinity and metabolic stability.
