Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with central nervous system activity. It serves as a building block in the production of selective receptor modulators, including those targeting serotonin and dopamine receptors. Commonly employed in research and development for antidepressants, antipsychotics, and cognitive enhancers. Its cyclopropyl and piperazine moieties contribute to enhanced metabolic stability and binding affinity in drug candidates. Also utilized in the preparation of compounds for oncology and neurology therapeutic areas. Suitable for use in controlled laboratory settings for route optimization and scale-up in medicinal chemistry.
