Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of certain vasodilators and cardiovascular drugs. It plays an important role in organic synthesis due to the presence of both amine and ketone functional groups, enabling diverse chemical transformations. Commonly employed in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where the methoxy and amino substituents are critical for biological activity. Also utilized in research settings for the preparation of heterocyclic compounds and drug analogs.
