Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents and antipsychotic drugs. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both amine functionality and a partially saturated heterocyclic ring, which enhances binding affinity to neurological receptors. Also employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents targeting neurological disorders. Additionally, it serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for designing novel compounds with improved metabolic stability and selectivity.
