Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. Its structure supports the creation of selective receptor modulators, making it valuable in drug discovery for neurological and psychiatric disorders. The amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, enabling the formation of amides, sulfonamides, or other nitrogen-containing derivatives important in medicinal chemistry. Additionally, its lipophilic character, enhanced by the methoxyphenyl and tetrahydropyranyl groups, aids in improving blood-brain barrier penetration in target molecules.
