Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of centrally acting agents targeting neurological disorders. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of a constrained amine scaffold, which enhances selectivity and metabolic stability. Commonly employed in the preparation of potent dopamine and serotonin receptor modulators. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in the design of novel psychotherapeutic agents and cognitive enhancers.
