Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and functional materials. Its structure contains both an ester and a primary amine, making it suitable for coupling reactions in the development of bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory conditions. Also utilized in the synthesis of specialty polymers due to its bifunctional reactivity. The amine group allows for salt formation to improve solubility, while the ester can be hydrolyzed to yield carboxylic acid derivatives for further modification.
