Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its protected amine group allows for selective reactions in multi-step organic syntheses. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex drug candidates, especially those targeting neurological and inflammatory pathways. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) protection ensures stability during reactions and enables deprotection under mild acidic conditions, making it valuable in peptide and heterocycle synthesis.
