Used as a chiral building block in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients where stereochemistry plays a critical role. Its rigid cyclohexane backbone and defined spatial orientation of amine groups make it valuable in designing ligands for asymmetric catalysis. Also employed in the preparation of specialty polymers and polyamides, where it contributes to thermal stability and mechanical strength. Due to its diamine functionality, it serves as a crosslinking agent in epoxy resins, enhancing chemical and heat resistance in coatings and composites.
