Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active ingredients for central nervous system (CNS) drugs. Its rigid cyclic structure and amine functionality make it valuable for modifying drug potency, selectivity, and metabolic stability. Commonly employed in the preparation of nootropic agents and cognitive enhancers due to its ability to influence neurotransmitter pathways. Also utilized in agrochemicals for designing novel pesticides with improved environmental profiles. Its steric hindrance from methyl groups enhances resistance to enzymatic degradation, increasing compound longevity in biological systems.
