Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor modulators. It serves in creating active ingredients for drugs targeting neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and depression. Its structure allows for effective binding to biological targets, enhancing drug efficacy. Also employed in agrochemicals for the production of certain pesticides due to its ability to influence insect nervous systems. Commonly utilized in research settings for developing novel bioactive compounds and in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies.
