Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals targeting cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Its chiral structure makes it valuable in asymmetric synthesis, where stereochemistry plays a critical role in drug efficacy and safety. Commonly employed in the preparation of angiotensin II receptor antagonists and other agents influencing peptide mimetic pathways. The Boc-protected amine allows for selective deprotection and further functionalization in multi-step organic syntheses, making it suitable for use in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery research.
