Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, especially in the production of certain antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs. Its piperazine backbone makes it valuable in creating active ingredients that interact with central nervous system receptors. It is also employed in research settings to develop new bioactive molecules due to its ability to enhance solubility and binding affinity in drug candidates. Additionally, it finds use in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty polymers where nitrogen-containing structures are required for functional performance.
