Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals. It serves as a building block for bioactive molecules due to the presence of both amine and ether functionalities, enabling the formation of complex structures. Commonly employed in the preparation of central nervous system agents and receptor ligands. Its structural flexibility makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug potency and selectivity. Also utilized in the synthesis of agrochemicals and functional materials where nitrogen-containing heterocycles are required.
