Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive molecules, particularly those targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure supports the development of compounds with potential antipsychotic, antidepressant, or cognitive-enhancing effects. The sulfonamide and piperidine moieties make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug solubility, binding affinity, and metabolic stability. Also employed in the design of selective enzyme inhibitors due to its ability to interact with specific receptor sites.
