Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly those targeting central nervous system disorders. Its rigid azabicyclic structure makes it valuable for exploring novel receptor ligands, especially in the development of serotonin and dopamine modulators. Also investigated for potential applications in creating new antidepressants and antipsychotic agents due to its ability to influence neurotransmitter activity. The compound's unique stereochemistry supports structure-activity relationship studies in drug design.
