Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry for the preparation of bioactive compounds. It serves as a building block in the development of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders due to its structural similarity to certain neurotransmitters. Also employed in the synthesis of agrochemicals and specialty polymers where amine functionality and aromatic character are required. Its morpholine ring enhances solubility and stability in various reaction conditions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research.
