Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceutical compounds. It serves as a building block for drugs targeting central nervous system disorders due to its structural similarity to bioactive piperazine derivatives. Commonly employed in the synthesis of receptor agonists and antagonists, especially in research related to serotonin and dopamine receptors. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty chemicals requiring complex amine functionalities. Its cyclohexylmethyl group enhances lipophilicity, improving membrane permeability in drug design.
