This compound is primarily utilized in pharmaceutical research and development, particularly in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for therapeutic drugs. Its structure is often explored for potential applications in central nervous system (CNS) disorders, including anxiety, depression, and epilepsy, due to its azepine core, which is known to interact with neurotransmitter systems. Additionally, it serves as a key intermediate in the production of compounds with potential antipsychotic or anticonvulsant properties. Researchers also investigate its derivatives for their pharmacological activities, aiming to develop novel treatments with improved efficacy and reduced side effects.
