Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. Its structural features support binding to specific receptors involved in neurological pathways, making it valuable in the creation of potential anxiolytic and antidepressant drugs. The compound's stereochemistry and substitution pattern enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug candidates. It is also explored in agrochemical research for designing bioactive molecules with improved selectivity and environmental safety.
