Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor modulators. It plays a role in the production of compounds with potential neurological applications, including treatments for cognitive disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the development of novel pesticides due to its ability to enhance bioactivity in certain active ingredients. Its structural features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing potency and selectivity in drug candidates.
