Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of centrally acting agents due to the presence of the bridged nitrogen scaffold. The Boc-protected amine allows for selective deprotection and further functionalization in multi-step reactions. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules targeting neurological pathways, including potential applications in cognitive enhancers and treatments for neurodegenerative conditions. Its rigid bicyclic structure helps in conformational restriction, improving selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates.
