Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate for synthesizing bioactive molecules, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Its structure supports binding to neurotransmitter receptors, making it valuable in the design of antidepressants and antipsychotics. Also employed in the synthesis of targeted therapies where selective receptor modulation is required. Additionally, it serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for creating novel diazepane-based compounds with improved metabolic stability and blood-brain barrier penetration.
