Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pyrrolidine and pyrrolidine-based pharmaceuticals. It serves as a building block in the development of bioactive molecules, including alkaloids and drug candidates targeting neurological and cardiovascular conditions. Its reactivity makes it valuable in cycloaddition reactions and the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Also employed in flavor and fragrance chemistry due to its contribution to amine-like, meaty aroma notes in food systems.
