Used primarily as a protected diamine building block in organic synthesis, especially in peptide and pharmaceutical manufacturing. The compound features two Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl) protecting groups, which stabilize amine functionalities during multi-step reactions. It enables selective deprotection and coupling, making it valuable in the synthesis of complex molecules such as drug intermediates and bioactive compounds. Commonly employed in the development of protease inhibitors and other therapeutic agents where controlled amine reactivity is required. Its hydroxyl group also allows for further functionalization, such as ether formation or conjugation to delivery systems, enhancing its utility in medicinal chemistry.
