Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of a bridged bicyclic framework and a protected amine group. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing selective receptor ligands, especially in the design of drugs targeting neurological disorders. The hydroxyl and carbamate functionalities allow further chemical modifications, making it valuable in optimizing drug candidates for improved potency and metabolic stability.
