Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceutical compounds. It serves as a building block in the creation of bioactive molecules due to its piperazine core, which is commonly found in drugs targeting the central nervous system. Its cyclohexylcarbonyl group enhances lipophilicity, making it useful in modifying drug absorption and distribution properties. Commonly employed in research settings for designing analogs of existing therapeutics, especially in psychotropic and neuropharmacological agents.
