Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active agents. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with neurological effects, including potential use in antidepressants and anticonvulsants. The presence of both amine and thiophene functionalities allows for diverse chemical modifications, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for drug design and optimization. It is also employed in research settings to explore new bioactive molecules and receptor ligands.
