Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive compounds targeting neurological disorders. Its rigid, bicyclic structure makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for mimicking peptide motifs, enhancing metabolic stability, and improving receptor selectivity. Commonly employed in the design of enzyme inhibitors and central nervous system agents due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profiles.
