Used primarily in scientific research as a reference compound for studying structure-activity relationships in piperazine derivatives. It serves as a building block in the synthesis of biologically active molecules, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Commonly employed in pharmacological studies to explore interactions with neurotransmitter receptors, including serotonin and dopamine receptors. Also utilized in forensic analysis and metabolism studies due to its structural similarity to certain psychoactive substances. Not intended for human consumption or therapeutic use.
