Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Acts as a building block in the production of certain antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs due to its amine functionality and structural compatibility with bioactive molecules. Also employed in the preparation of specialty polymers and surfactants where tertiary amine groups are required for catalytic or solubility properties. Its bifunctional amine structure makes it suitable for use in crosslinking agents and corrosion inhibitors in industrial formulations.
