Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the formation of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are common motifs in bioactive molecules. It also finds use in the preparation of chiral catalysts and ligands for asymmetric synthesis, contributing to the production of enantiomerically pure compounds. Additionally, it can act as a building block in the synthesis of functionalized morpholine derivatives with potential biological activity.
