This chemical is primarily utilized in organic synthesis as a versatile building block for the preparation of various compounds. It is particularly valuable in the development of pharmaceuticals, where it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its structure, containing both amino and oxyamine functional groups, allows it to participate in reactions that form crucial bonds, such as in the creation of heterocycles or modified peptides. Additionally, it finds application in the field of bioconjugation, where it can be used to link molecules or modify biomolecules for research or therapeutic purposes. Its dihydrochloride form enhances stability and solubility, making it suitable for use in aqueous reaction environments.
