Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its rigid bicyclic structure and protected amine functionality make it valuable for constructing complex nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for scaffold diversification and optimization of drug candidates targeting neurological disorders and cancer. The Boc-protected amine allows for selective deprotection and further functionalization, enabling efficient coupling in multi-step syntheses.
