Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that target central nervous system disorders. Its structure supports the creation of complex heterocyclic molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing drugs with enhanced selectivity and bioavailability. Commonly employed in the preparation of psychotropic agents and receptor modulators due to the presence of the piperazine ring, which is known for its pharmacological activity. Also utilized in research settings for the development of novel bioactive molecules and in the production of specialty chemicals for laboratory use.
