Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of centrally acting agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both amine and ester functional groups, which are amenable to further chemical modifications. Commonly employed in the preparation of potent enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators, especially in research targeting neurological disorders. The compound’s versatility makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex pyrrolidine-based scaffolds found in drug candidates.
