Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) targeting central nervous system disorders. 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 anxiolytic properties. Its cyclopropylcarbonyl group enhances metabolic stability and influences binding affinity in receptor-targeted drug design. Commonly employed in research and development settings for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and optimization of drug candidates.
