Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. It plays a role in the development of drugs targeting neurological disorders due to its structural similarity to pyrrolidine derivatives, which are known for their biological activity. Additionally, it is utilized in the synthesis of complex molecules for research purposes, particularly in the study of receptor-ligand interactions and enzyme inhibition. Its application extends to the production of fine chemicals and specialty materials in the chemical industry.
