Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and functional materials. Serves as a building block in the development of bioactive compounds, particularly in the design of central nervous system agents due to its rigid polycyclic structure and amine functionality. Its scaffold is of interest in medicinal chemistry for exploring new neuroactive drugs, including potential antidepressants and antipsychotics. Also investigated in materials science for creating novel amine-containing polymers with tailored electronic properties.
