Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both primary amine and piperazine functionalities, which are common in drugs targeting neurological and psychiatric conditions. Also employed in medicinal chemistry research for designing novel receptor ligands, especially for serotonin and dopamine receptors. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of small-molecule drug candidates during early-stage drug discovery.
