Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceutical compounds. It serves as a building block for drugs targeting central nervous system disorders due to its structural similarity to bioactive morpholine derivatives. Its amine functionality allows for easy modification, enabling the creation of amide or sulfonamide derivatives in drug design. Also explored in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Shows potential in medicinal chemistry for designing molecules with improved solubility and metabolic stability.
