Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. Serves as a building block in the preparation of serotonin receptor ligands and other neuroactive molecules. Employed in research settings to develop compounds with potential antidepressant or neuromodulatory effects. Also utilized in the synthesis of fragrances and flavoring agents due to its aromatic amine structure. Stable as a hydrobromide salt, making it suitable for storage and handling in laboratory environments.
