Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of active ingredients for anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. It serves as a building block in organic reactions where its nitro group can be reduced to an amine, enabling further functionalization for drug design. Its morpholine rings enhance solubility and bioavailability in final drug formulations, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. Also employed in research settings for developing novel heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activity.
