Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of chiral compounds. It serves as an intermediate in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with specific stereochemistry. Applied in the synthesis of drugs targeting neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and other therapeutic areas. Its chiral structure makes it valuable for creating enantiomerically pure substances, enhancing drug efficacy and reducing side effects. Also utilized in research for developing novel chemical entities with potential biological activity.
