Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of neurology and psychiatric drugs such as antidepressants or mood stabilizers. Its 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane structure is crucial for binding to brain receptors. The compound enhances stability of the amine group during synthesis and enables easy deprotection of the Boc group under mild acidic conditions, making it ideal for multi-step syntheses in research and development of novel therapeutics. It supports the creation of active ingredients targeting central nervous system disorders and serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for complex molecules with biological activity.
