Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with central nervous system activity. It serves as a building block in the production of certain antimicrobial and antiviral agents due to its structural features that support bioactivity. Its piperazine core with substituted cyclopropyl and methyl groups enhances binding affinity to specific biological targets, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research. Also employed in the preparation of novel derivatives for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies during drug discovery.
