Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceutical compounds. It serves as a building block for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its amine functionality and structural flexibility. Commonly employed in the synthesis of central nervous system agents, including antidepressants and antipsychotics. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty polymers where tertiary amines enhance reactivity or solubility. Its structure supports coordination with metal ions, making it useful in catalysis research.
