Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for antidepressants, antipsychotics, and antihistamines. Its structure supports the formation of complex nitrogen-containing molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. Also employed in the production of agrochemicals and specialty polymers due to its reactivity and ability to act as a building block in multi-step organic reactions. Additionally, it finds use in research laboratories for developing novel compounds with potential biological activity.
