Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry for constructing protected amino alcohol derivatives. Its hydroxyl and protected amine functionalities allow selective reactions in multi-step syntheses. Commonly employed in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where controlled amine protection is required. Also utilized in polymer chemistry to introduce functional handles for crosslinking or further modification. Stable under a range of reaction conditions, making it suitable for use in peptide mimetics and heterocycle formation.
