Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure supports the formation of complex amines, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing chiral building blocks. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and receptor modulators due to the flexibility and stability it imparts to the final compound. Also utilized in research settings for the design of novel therapeutic agents requiring selective amine functionalities.
