Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of drugs targeting neurological disorders and cancer. It plays a role in the preparation of biologically active molecules due to its morpholine and nicotinaldehyde functional groups. Additionally, it is utilized in organic synthesis for constructing complex heterocyclic structures, which are essential in medicinal chemistry. Its application extends to research and development in creating novel therapeutic agents with potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
