Used as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where its cyclic amine structure contributes to biological activity. Its stereochemistry and substituent groups make it valuable in creating compounds with specific receptor targeting, especially in central nervous system agents and kinase inhibitors. Also employed in agrochemicals for the design of herbicides and insecticides due to its stability and reactivity in organic transformations. Commonly utilized in research settings for medicinal chemistry campaigns and library synthesis in drug discovery.
