Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure supports the construction of complex piperazine-based derivatives, which are common in drug design for improving solubility, binding affinity, and metabolic stability. Frequently employed in medicinal chemistry research to build potential cognitive enhancers, antidepressants, or antipsychotic agents. The presence of the dihydrobenzodioxine ring offers a rigid aromatic scaffold that can influence receptor selectivity, while the Boc-protected piperazine allows for controlled functionalization in multi-step syntheses.
