Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its amine functionality and chiral center make it valuable in the development of bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in the synthesis of herbicides and plant growth regulators due to the cyclohexyl and methyl groups contributing to lipid solubility and membrane penetration. Also utilized in the production of specialty chemicals where a sterically hindered amine is required to influence reaction selectivity or stability.
