Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceutical compounds with potential central nervous system activity. It serves as a building block for bioactive molecules due to its morpholine core, which is commonly found in drugs exhibiting anti-inflammatory, antiviral, or neuroprotective properties. Its diphenyl substitution enhances lipophilicity, aiding in blood-brain barrier penetration, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing neuroactive agents. Also explored in the synthesis of enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators.
