Used primarily in research settings as a synthetic intermediate for developing pharmaceutical compounds, particularly those targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure supports the creation of molecules with potential analgesic, antipsychotic, or anti-inflammatory activity. Due to the presence of halogenated aromatic groups and a piperidine ring, it is valuable in medicinal chemistry for exploring structure-activity relationships in drug design. Not intended for direct therapeutic use; handled under controlled laboratory conditions for early-stage drug discovery.
