Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules targeting neurological disorders and cancer. Its structure allows for selective binding to specific enzyme active sites, enhancing drug efficacy. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic systems due to its bifunctional amine groups, which enable conjugation or further derivatization. Also utilized in research settings for probe and sensor design targeting neurotransmitter receptors.
