Used primarily in the pharmaceutical industry as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It plays a crucial role in the development of chiral compounds, particularly in the production of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders. Its enantiomeric purity is essential for ensuring the efficacy and safety of the final drug product. Additionally, it is employed in research settings for the study of receptor interactions and the development of new therapeutic agents with improved selectivity and reduced side effects.
