Used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly as an intermediate in the production of drugs targeting the central nervous system. Its structure is valuable in developing compounds with activity on neurotransmitter receptors, including treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders. Commonly found in research related to analgesics and anticholinergic agents. Also utilized in the development of enzyme inhibitors due to its rigid bicyclic framework, which can enhance binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates.
