Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. It serves as a building block for the development of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both aromatic and amine functional groups, which can undergo a variety of transformations such as alkylation, acylation, and condensation reactions. Its structural features make it suitable for use in the synthesis of central nervous system agents and other therapeutic compounds. Additionally, it may find use in research settings for the preparation of novel amine-containing compounds with potential biological activity.
