Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders. It serves as a building block in the production of certain antipsychotic and antidepressant medications due to its structural compatibility with bioactive molecules. Also employed in agrochemicals for the formulation of herbicides and plant growth regulators, where it contributes to enhanced selectivity and efficacy. Its amine functionality allows for easy modification in organic synthesis, making it valuable in research laboratories for developing new nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds.
