Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Shows potential in the design of serotonin and dopamine receptor modulators due to its structural affinity with neuroactive molecules. Also employed in agrochemical studies for developing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and environmental profile. Its rigid aromatic-pyrrolidine framework makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for exploring structure-activity relationships in drug candidates.
