Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective protection of amines, making it valuable in multi-step synthesis where controlled reactivity is required. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents, it facilitates the introduction of amine functionalities in drug candidates. Also utilized in the synthesis of peptide mimetics and in medicinal chemistry research for modifying amine-containing compounds with improved solubility and stability.
