Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of neuroactive agents. Its strained ring structure and amine functionality make it valuable for constructing complex molecular architectures found in bioactive molecules. It is employed in medicinal chemistry for designing modulators of central nervous system targets, including receptors and ion channels. The hydrochloride salt form enhances stability and solubility, facilitating handling and purification during drug synthesis. Its unique three-dimensional scaffold also supports exploration in structure-activity relationship studies to optimize potency and selectivity in new drug candidates.
