Used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for central nervous system drugs. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of a secondary amine in a constrained ring, enhancing binding selectivity. Commonly employed in the production of antipsychotics, antidepressants, and kinase inhibitors. Also utilized in agrochemicals for designing novel pesticides and herbicides. Serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and library synthesis in drug discovery.
