Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as a key intermediate for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) drugs and nicotinic receptor modulators. Its rigid bicyclic structure makes it valuable for enhancing selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in the preparation of nootropic agents and treatments for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved target specificity.
