Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its structure allows for selective modification, making it valuable in creating dopamine and serotonin receptor modulators. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing bioactive piperazine derivatives. Also utilized in research settings to develop potential antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs. The bromophenyl group enables further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, enhancing its utility in drug discovery.
