Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the development of central nervous system agents, particularly those targeting neurological disorders. The compound's piperidine-morpholine scaffold enhances binding affinity to certain receptors, making it valuable in drug discovery for psychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions. It is also employed in the preparation of selective enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators due to its favorable solubility and stability properties in biological assays.
