Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules with potential antipsychotic, antidepressant, or cognitive-enhancing effects. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its morpholine core and aromatic substitution, enabling optimization of drug candidates. Also utilized in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and receptor modulators in research settings.
