Used primarily in research settings as an intermediate for synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds, particularly those targeting neurological pathways. It has been explored for its potential role in developing agents that modulate neurotransmitter activity, such as serotonin and dopamine receptors. Due to its structural features, it serves as a building block in the creation of bioactive molecules with possible applications in treating central nervous system disorders. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize drug candidates. Not intended for direct therapeutic use or human consumption.
