Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of antihistamines and antipsychotic drugs. Its structure supports binding to central nervous system receptors, making it valuable in creating compounds that modulate neurological activity. Commonly employed in research settings for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its piperidine and aryl ether motifs, which enhance blood-brain barrier penetration. Also utilized in the preparation of selective receptor antagonists for treating allergic and psychiatric disorders.
