Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of centrally acting agents targeting neurological disorders. Its rigid bicyclic structure and nitrogen functionality make it suitable for modulating receptor activity, especially in serotonin and dopamine pathways. Employed in medicinal chemistry for designing selective enzyme inhibitors and receptor ligands. Also utilized in the preparation of chiral catalysts for asymmetric synthesis, contributing to the production of enantiomerically pure drugs.
