Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive compounds targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structural features make it suitable for developing agents with potential antipsychotic, antidepressant, or cognitive-enhancing effects. The compound's ability to interact with neurotransmitter receptors, particularly dopamine and serotonin receptors, supports its investigation in drug discovery programs. It is also employed in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize potency and selectivity of novel therapeutic candidates. Due to its stability and functional versatility, it serves as a scaffold in the design of new molecules for neuropharmacology.
