Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. It serves as a scaffold in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to interact with various biological targets, including receptors and enzymes involved in neurological disorders. Its structure is often incorporated into drug candidates aiming for anxiolytic, antidepressant, or antipsychotic activity. Additionally, it has been explored in the design of kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents where nitrogen-rich heterocycles enhance binding affinity and selectivity.
