Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as a key intermediate for developing central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. Shows utility in the preparation of selective receptor modulators, particularly targeting serotonin and dopamine pathways. Commonly employed in research for developing potential treatments for neurological disorders such as depression, anxiety, and Parkinson’s disease. Also applied in the creation of radiolabeled derivatives for receptor binding studies. Its amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) exploration.
