Used primarily as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis, this compound serves in the development of pharmaceuticals and biologically active molecules. Its structure contains both amine and alkyne functional groups, making it valuable in click chemistry reactions, particularly in the formation of triazole rings via copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. It is also employed in the design of neuropharmacological agents due to the presence of a piperidine ring, which is common in central nervous system-targeted drugs. Additionally, it can act as a building block in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors and receptor ligands.
