Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) drugs. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with neurological activity, including potential antipsychotic and antidepressant medications. The presence of both chlorine and pyrrolidine functional groups allows for selective binding and improved bioavailability in drug candidates. It is also employed in research settings for designing novel bioactive molecules and optimizing lead compounds during drug discovery.
