Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Shows potential in the design of dopamine and serotonin receptor modulators, which are relevant for treating neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, depression, and schizophrenia. Also employed in the preparation of fluorinated heterocyclic compounds to enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug candidates. Its structure serves as a scaffold in medicinal chemistry for optimizing potency and selectivity in new therapeutic molecules.
