Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. It serves as a building block in the preparation of bioactive molecules due to its piperazine core, which is commonly found in drugs with antipsychotic, antidepressant, or antihistaminic properties. Its derivative structures are explored in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug efficacy and selectivity. Also utilized in research settings for designing novel compounds with potential therapeutic applications.
