Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor modulators. It plays a role in the production of compounds targeting neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Its structure allows for effective binding and selectivity in neuroactive drug design. Also utilized in agrochemicals for creating novel pesticides with improved environmental profiles. Commonly employed in research settings for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its bioactive scaffold.
