Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active agents. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with neuroreceptor affinity, making it valuable in research on serotonin and dopamine modulators. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates targeting neurological disorders. Also utilized in the preparation of selective enzyme inhibitors due to its stable aromatic and amine functionality. Suitable for coupling reactions in heterocyclic compound design.
