Used as a chiral building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. Its protected alcohol and amine groups make it ideal for peptide synthesis and medicinal chemistry applications where selective deprotection and coupling are required. Commonly employed in the development of protease inhibitors and other enzyme-targeted drugs. Also utilized in the preparation of intermediates for agrochemicals and specialty polymers. The Boc group allows for mild deprotection conditions, enabling compatibility with a wide range of reaction sequences in multi-step organic syntheses.
