Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents and cardiovascular drugs. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both amine functionality and a partially saturated heterocyclic ring, which enhances binding affinity to various biological targets. It is also employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and receptor modulators. Additionally, it serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for designing novel compounds with potential antihypertensive, antiarrhythmic, or neuroprotective activities.
