Used primarily in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate in the synthesis of various drugs. It plays a key role in the production of compounds with potential therapeutic effects, particularly in the development of medications targeting the central nervous system. Its structure allows it to act as a building block for creating molecules that interact with specific receptors in the brain, making it valuable for research and drug development. Additionally, it may be utilized in the synthesis of compounds with anti-inflammatory or analgesic properties. Its application is largely confined to laboratory settings for experimental and medicinal chemistry purposes.
