Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Shows potential in the design of dopamine and serotonin receptor modulators due to its structural features that support blood-brain barrier penetration. Also employed in the preparation of novel analogs for structure-activity relationship studies targeting neurological disorders such as depression, anxiety, and Parkinson’s disease. Its amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening campaigns.
