Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure allows for functionalization at multiple sites, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building heterocyclic compounds. It is also employed in the preparation of ligands for catalysis and in the design of novel compounds with potential antimicrobial or anticancer activity. Its cyclic amine framework supports enhanced solubility and binding affinity in drug design.
