Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with central nervous system activity. It serves as a building block in the production of antipsychotic, antidepressant, and antihistamine drugs due to its structural compatibility with bioactive molecules. Its tertiary amine functionality allows for easy modification and incorporation into complex drug structures. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty polymers where amine-based crosslinking or functionalization is required.
