Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for various therapeutic applications. It plays a role in the development of compounds with potential anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, or antiviral properties. Additionally, it is utilized in organic synthesis to create chiral auxiliaries, which are essential in producing enantiomerically pure substances for drug development. Its structural properties make it valuable in research and industrial processes aimed at designing new medicinal compounds.
