Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure allows for enhanced metabolic stability and improved binding affinity in drug candidates. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for the preparation of analogs in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Also utilized in the production of agrochemicals due to its ability to influence biological activity in crop protection agents. The hydrochloride salt form improves solubility and handling in various synthetic routes.
