Used as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of active ingredients requiring a piperazine core with enhanced steric stability due to the dimethyl substitution. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules, including antifungal agents, antivirals, and receptor modulators. Its structure supports improved metabolic stability and solubility in drug design. Also utilized in the synthesis of specialty polymers and ligands for catalysis.
