Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and central nervous system agents. Its rigid bicyclic structure and protected amine functionality make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing selective receptor ligands. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and GPCR-targeted drugs due to its favorable stereochemistry and ability to enhance metabolic stability. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with improved selectivity and environmental profiles.
