Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of biologically active molecules with nitrogen-containing ring systems. Its structure supports the construction of constrained cyclic amines, which are valuable in medicinal chemistry for enhancing metabolic stability and improving target selectivity. Commonly employed in the preparation of protease inhibitors and receptor modulators, especially in research focused on central nervous system agents and antiviral drugs. The Boc-protected amine allows for controlled deprotection and further functionalization in multi-step organic syntheses.
