Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) drugs. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with potential anxiolytic and sedative properties. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-rich heterocyclic systems that enhance binding affinity to specific biological targets. Also utilized in research settings for designing novel bioactive molecules and in the optimization of drug candidates due to its metabolic stability and favorable physicochemical characteristics.
