Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for central nervous system (CNS) agents. It serves as a building block in the production of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other neuropsychiatric drugs. Its piperazine core with cyclopropyl substitution enhances binding affinity to certain receptors, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug efficacy and selectivity. Also employed in research settings for generating novel analogs in drug discovery programs.
