Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of a protected amine and a rigid bicyclic framework, which can enhance selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in the design of receptor modulators, including those targeting neurological disorders. Also utilized in the preparation of novel analogs for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
