Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. It features a Boc-protected primary amine, a free hydroxyl group, and a free primary amine, allowing selective reactions in multi-step organic syntheses. Commonly employed in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where controlled reactivity and solubility are required. Also utilized in the preparation of specialty polymers and functionalized ligands for catalysis.
