Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. Serves as a building block in the preparation of amide-based molecules with potential therapeutic activity. Commonly employed in the development of enzyme inhibitors and receptor ligands due to the presence of dual functional groups (amine and amide) that facilitate molecular diversification. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, particularly in optimizing lead compounds for improved potency and selectivity.
