Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in constructing complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building pyrroline-based scaffolds that exhibit potential therapeutic activity in cancer, inflammation, and central nervous system disorders. Also utilized in research settings for the preparation of novel analogs in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
