Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules with potential activity as serotonin reuptake inhibitors or antipsychotic drugs. The presence of a carbamoyl group and a piperidine ring makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for modifying solubility, bioavailability, and receptor binding affinity. It is also employed in research settings to design novel drug candidates targeting neurological disorders.
