Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the creation of herbicidal agents due to the phenoxy backbone, which is commonly found in plant growth regulators. The cyclopentylamino and amide functionalities enhance binding selectivity in biological systems, making it valuable in designing enzyme inhibitors. It is also employed in research settings for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize potency and stability in new chemical entities.
