Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of drugs targeting neurological disorders. It plays a role in the production of pyrrolidine derivatives, which are essential for creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with therapeutic effects. Additionally, it is employed in research for designing and optimizing molecules with potential anti-inflammatory or analgesic properties. Its structural features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for modifying and enhancing drug efficacy and selectivity.
