Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals. It serves as a chiral building block in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), where its structure supports the formation of complex molecules with high selectivity. Commonly employed in the synthesis of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders due to its ability to mimic natural neurotransmitters. Also utilized in the preparation of specialty agrochemicals and in research settings for developing novel catalysts and ligands. Its versatility stems from the presence of both tertiary amine and ether functionalities, enabling diverse chemical transformations.
