Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive compounds. It serves as a building block for nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) modulators, which are important in neuroscience research and the creation of insecticides targeting insect nervous systems. Its structural features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing compounds with enhanced selectivity and binding affinity. Also employed in the preparation of novel heterocyclic systems for drug discovery programs.
