Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor modulators. It plays a role in creating compounds with potential cognitive-enhancing and neuroprotective effects, making it valuable in research for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and schizophrenia. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with selective action. Its structure supports the development of molecules with improved binding affinity and metabolic stability.
