Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) involving piperazine derivatives. Its structure allows for selective modifications, making it valuable in creating compounds with central nervous system activity, including potential antipsychotic or antidepressant agents. It is also employed in the preparation of research chemicals and in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. The compound's stability and reactivity profile support its use in coupling reactions and heterocyclic formation during drug discovery processes.
