Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds, it plays a crucial role in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its structure is valuable in creating molecules with potential therapeutic effects, particularly in the design of drugs targeting neurological disorders. Additionally, it is employed in organic chemistry research for the preparation of complex amines and as a building block in the synthesis of specialty chemicals. Its application extends to the production of agrochemicals, where it contributes to the development of pesticides and herbicides.
