Used in organic synthesis as a protected intermediate for the preparation of pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. It serves as a key building block in the development of drugs targeting neurological disorders, due to its ability to introduce cyclohexylamine derivatives. The ALLOC (allyloxycarbonyl) protecting group allows selective deprotection during multi-step reactions, enabling precise chemical modifications. It is also employed in peptide synthesis and the creation of complex molecular structures for research in medicinal chemistry.
