Used primarily in research settings as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds. It serves as a building block in developing drugs targeting the central nervous system due to its structural similarity to known neuroactive molecules. Its piperidine and amide functionalities make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for exploring receptor binding, particularly in studies related to pain management and neurological disorders. Also employed in the development of novel analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents. Not used in consumer products or industrial applications.
