Used as a synthetic intermediate in organic chemistry, particularly in the development of pharmaceutical compounds. It serves as a building block for creating complex molecules due to the presence of both a morpholine ring and a chlorophenylthio group, which can participate in various coupling and substitution reactions. Commonly applied in medicinal chemistry for designing bioactive molecules, including potential central nervous system agents and enzyme inhibitors. Its structure allows for easy modification, making it valuable in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies during drug discovery.
