Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both amine and alcohol functional groups, which can be further modified. Commonly employed in research settings for designing analogs of biologically active amines. Also utilized in the preparation of receptor ligands, especially for neurological targets. Its cyclopropyl and benzyl groups contribute to enhanced metabolic stability and binding affinity in drug candidates.
