Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of radiolabeled compounds for medical imaging. Its iodine substituent allows for easy incorporation of radioactive isotopes like iodine-123 or iodine-131, making it valuable in creating tracers for SPECT imaging. Also employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules targeting neurological and oncological pathways due to the morpholine ring’s favorable pharmacokinetic properties. Common in research settings for structure-activity relationship studies in drug design.
