Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring tertiary amine functionalities. Its structure supports the formation of complex molecules in drug design, especially in central nervous system agents and antiviral compounds. Also employed in the preparation of functionalized morpholine derivatives for use in medicinal chemistry research and development. The dihydrochloride salt form enhances stability and solubility, making it suitable for purification and isolation in synthetic pathways.
