Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its boronic acid group enables Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, allowing for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in complex organic structures. The protected piperazine moiety provides a handle for further functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing drug candidates with targeted activity. Commonly employed in research settings for the preparation of potential anticancer, antiviral, or anti-inflammatory agents.
