Used in research as a synthetic intermediate for pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of drugs targeting neurological pathways. It has been explored for its potential role in the synthesis of compounds with dopaminergic activity, which may be relevant in treating neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. Also investigated for its use in creating analogs of biologically active amines, supporting studies on neurotransmitter regulation and receptor binding. Its hydrochloride salt form enhances stability and solubility, making it suitable for laboratory-scale synthesis and biological testing.
