Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where morpholine derivatives are required. Its structure supports the formation of bioactive molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for drug design. Commonly employed in the preparation of nootropic agents and cognitive enhancers due to its ability to influence neurotransmitter systems. Also utilized in the creation of complex heterocyclic compounds for research in neuropharmacology and metabolic stability studies.
