Used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to construct biaryl structures found in active pharmaceutical ingredients. Its boronic acid functionality enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in drug discovery and development. The tert-Butoxycarbonyl (Boc)-protected piperidine group provides stability and compatibility with multi-step synthetic sequences, allowing selective deprotection when needed. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders and cancer.
