Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure supports the modulation of receptor activity, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating analogs with enhanced selectivity and potency. Commonly employed in research settings to construct piperazine-based derivatives with potential antipsychotic, antidepressant, or anticonvulsant properties. Also utilized in the preparation of novel heterocyclic systems for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
