Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both amine and ester functionalities, which are common in drug design. The fluorinated cyclohexane ring enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability, making it valuable in optimizing pharmacokinetic properties. Commonly employed in research settings for the preparation of novel analogs in medicinal chemistry programs targeting neurological disorders.
