Used primarily as a research chemical in forensic and analytical laboratories for method development and reference purposes. It serves as a synthetic intermediate in the study of organic compounds, particularly in the development of detection techniques for designer drugs. Due to structural similarities with certain psychoactive substances, it is sometimes used as a reference standard in mass spectrometry and chromatography to help identify and differentiate novel stimulants or related analogs in biological samples. Its application is limited to controlled scientific environments and is not intended for pharmaceutical or industrial use.
