Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. It plays a key role in creating analogs of known neuroactive agents, aiding in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Its structure allows for selective interaction with enzyme active sites, enhancing drug efficacy. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with targeted neurological effects on pests.
