Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceutical research. It serves as a building block for developing drug candidates targeting neurological disorders and inflammatory conditions due to its structural similarity to known CNS-active molecules. The presence of the cyanomethyl and diazepine moieties allows for further functionalization, enabling the creation of diverse compound libraries for screening. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
