Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with neuroactive properties, including antidepressants and antipsychotics. The molecule’s flexible chain and dual nitrogen centers make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for enhancing binding affinity to biological targets. Also employed in the preparation of functionalized ligands for receptor studies and in the design of enzyme inhibitors. Its derivatives are explored in drug discovery for improved pharmacokinetic profiles.
