Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of a piperidine ring, which is common in neuroactive drugs. It is employed in the preparation of selective enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators, especially in research focused on psychiatric and neurological disorders. The hydrochloride salt form enhances stability and solubility, making it suitable for use in multi-step organic syntheses under laboratory and industrial conditions.
