Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of anticholinergic drugs. It plays an important role in the development of medications for respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Due to its structural similarity to quinuclidine derivatives, it is also employed in the design of enzyme inhibitors and receptor antagonists. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the creation of novel compounds for neurological research, including those targeting cognitive disorders and neuromuscular function.
