Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the creation of complex molecules where a cycloheptane ring is needed to influence bioavailability or metabolic stability. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive compounds, including potential central nervous system agents due to its lipophilic character and amine functionality. Also utilized in research settings for designing novel amine-containing compounds with tailored physical and chemical properties.
