Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure supports the development of enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators due to the presence of both amino and heterocyclic functionalities. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles with potential antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Also utilized in the preparation of specialty agrochemicals and as a building block in combinatorial chemistry for drug discovery.
