Used primarily as a research chemical in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceutical intermediates. Its structure supports use in the creation of bioactive molecules, including potential central nervous system agents. It may serve as a building block in the synthesis of more complex amines due to its secondary amine functionality and lipophilic character. Limited industrial or commercial applications are documented, and it is not approved for use in consumer products or medicine. Handling is restricted to controlled laboratory environments for scientific study.
