Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules that target central nervous system disorders. Its structure provides a rigid diazabicyclic framework that enhances selectivity and stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing potent receptor modulators, including those active at serotonin and dopamine receptors. Also utilized in the preparation of chiral ligands for asymmetric synthesis, contributing to the production of enantiomerically pure drugs.
