Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules targeting neurological and psychiatric disorders. Its structure supports the construction of more complex heterocyclic systems found in serotonin and dopamine receptor modulators. Also employed in research settings for the preparation of novel pyrrole-based derivatives with potential anticonvulsant, antidepressant, or antitumor activity. The hydrochloride salt form enhances stability and solubility, facilitating its use in aqueous reaction media.
