Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and central nervous system agents. Its rigid bicyclic structure makes it valuable for designing compounds with specific stereochemistry and improved metabolic stability. Commonly employed in the preparation of receptor ligands and enzyme inhibitors due to the functional versatility of the diazabicyclic core. The tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group allows for controlled amine reactivity, enabling selective reactions in multi-step synthetic routes. Widely applied in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies.
