Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and drug candidates. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with central nervous system activity, including potential antipsychotic and antidepressant agents. Also employed in research settings to explore structure-activity relationships in heterocyclic compounds. The chlorophenyl and morpholine groups enhance lipophilicity and binding affinity, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug-like properties.
