Used as a protected amine intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The tert-butyl carbamate group acts as a protecting group for the amine, allowing selective reactions at other sites in the molecule. Its trifluoroethyl component enhances lipophilicity and metabolic stability, making it valuable in the development of bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals where controlled deprotection and stability under various reaction conditions are required.
