Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with central nervous system activity. It serves as a building block in the production of certain antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs due to its structural compatibility with bioactive molecules. Its cyclic amine structure allows for functionalization that enhances drug solubility and receptor binding. Also explored in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved metabolic stability.
