Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of centrally acting agents, particularly in the development of dopamine receptor modulators. Its structural features make it valuable for optimizing blood-brain barrier penetration in neuroactive compounds. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in treatments targeting neurological disorders such as schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease. Also utilized in the preparation of selective enzyme inhibitors due to its affinity for specific kinase pathways.
