Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. It serves as a building block for active pharmaceutical ingredients due to its nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structure, which can enhance bioavailability and binding affinity in drug molecules. Commonly employed in the development of central nervous system agents, including antidepressants and antipsychotics. Also utilized in the synthesis of agrochemicals and specialty chemicals where a lipophilic amine moiety is required. Its hexyl chain contributes to increased solubility and membrane permeability in biological systems.
