Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Its protected piperidine structure allows selective formation of carbon-carbon bonds while maintaining stability under various reaction conditions. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules, including drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and oncology therapeutics. The Boc group facilitates easy deprotection, enabling further functionalization in multi-step syntheses. Preferred in medicinal chemistry due to its compatibility with sensitive substrates and high coupling efficiency.
