Used primarily in research settings as a chemical intermediate for synthesizing biologically active compounds. Shows potential in the development of central nervous system agents due to its structural features that resemble known neuroactive molecules. Employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies, particularly in the design of receptor ligands targeting serotonin and dopamine pathways. Also utilized in the preparation of novel analogs for screening in psychiatric and neurological disorder models. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
