Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure supports the construction of complex amines, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing potency, selectivity, and metabolic stability. Commonly employed in the preparation of protease inhibitors and receptor modulators due to the conformational restraint provided by the piperidine and cyclopropyl groups. Also utilized in research settings for library diversification in high-throughput screening.
