Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for targeted cancer therapies. Its chiral amine structure allows for selective interactions with biological targets, enhancing drug efficacy and reducing side effects. Commonly employed in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring high enantiomeric purity. Also utilized in research settings for the construction of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds with potential neuroactive or anti-inflammatory properties.
