Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive molecules, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents and anxiolytic drugs. Its structure supports the creation of compounds that modulate neurotransmitter receptors, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing novel therapeutics. Also employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other enzyme-targeted drugs due to its favorable binding properties. Commonly found in research settings for high-throughput screening and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
