Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate for developing central nervous system (CNS) agents. Shows potential in the synthesis of compounds targeting neurological disorders due to its structural affinity for receptor modulation. Commonly employed in the development of selective kinase inhibitors and neuroactive drugs. Its scaffold supports blood-brain barrier penetration, making it valuable in designing therapeutics for cognitive and psychiatric conditions. Also utilized in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize drug potency and selectivity.
