This compound is primarily used in pharmaceutical research and development, particularly in the synthesis of novel drug candidates. It serves as a key intermediate in the creation of compounds targeting the central nervous system (CNS). Its structure is valuable in designing molecules with potential therapeutic effects for neurological disorders, such as anxiety, depression, or schizophrenia. Additionally, it may be explored for its role in modulating specific receptors or enzymes involved in disease pathways. Researchers also utilize it to study structure-activity relationships (SAR) to optimize drug efficacy and safety profiles.
