Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for antipsychotic, antidepressant, and antiviral drugs. Its structure supports the formation of complex molecules with biological activity, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and receptor antagonists due to the reactivity of the amino and piperazine groups. Also utilized in the creation of novel compounds for research in neuropharmacology and oncology. Its salt form enhances solubility and stability, beneficial for formulation processes.
