Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and drug candidates. Its structure supports the introduction of tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) protecting groups, enabling controlled amine reactivity during multi-step organic syntheses. Commonly applied in medicinal chemistry for constructing peptidomimetics and central nervous system agents. Also utilized in the preparation of enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators due to its stability and selective deprotection characteristics.
