Used primarily in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. Its isothiocyanate group readily reacts with nucleophiles such as amines and thiols, making it valuable in the preparation of thiourea derivatives and heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in the development of medicinal agents, particularly in research targeting enzyme inhibitors and receptor ligands. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides due to its ability to modify biological activity in target molecules. Its piperidine moiety enhances membrane permeability, which is advantageous in drug design for improving bioavailability.
