Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its sulfone functionality enables participation in key reactions such as Michael additions and nucleophilic substitutions, facilitating the construction of complex molecular frameworks. The presence of imino and cyclopentyl groups enhances its utility in forming nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are common structural motifs in bioactive compounds. It is also employed in the preparation of sulfone-based functional materials due to its stability and reactivity profile.
