Used primarily in scientific research as an analytical reference standard, this compound serves in the development and validation of analytical methods for detecting piperazine derivatives. It has also been explored in pharmacological studies due to its structural similarity to compounds with central nervous system activity, supporting investigations into receptor binding, particularly at serotonin and dopamine receptors. Its role remains limited to laboratory settings, with no approved medical or industrial applications. Due to regulatory scrutiny on psychoactive substances, it may appear in forensic analysis to monitor emerging synthetic drugs. Handling is restricted to trained personnel in controlled environments.
