Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents and bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with neurological activity, including potential use in antidepressants or antipsychotics. The compound's cyclic amine core with fluorinated groups enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates. It is also employed in research settings to explore new synthetic routes and structure-activity relationships in heterocyclic chemistry.
