Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of histamine H3 receptor antagonists. It plays a key role in creating compounds for neurological disorders such as narcolepsy, ADHD, and cognitive impairments. Its structure supports binding to central nervous system targets, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for drug design. Also utilized in research settings to explore receptor selectivity and improve blood-brain barrier penetration in neuroactive agents.
