Used as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its amine-functionalized structure makes it suitable for conjugation reactions in medicinal chemistry, enabling the formation of amide or sulfonamide linkages. Also employed in the preparation of functionalized heterocyclic compounds for drug discovery research. Its rigid tetrahydropyran core can enhance metabolic stability and influence the conformational orientation of target molecules, improving binding affinity to biological targets.
