Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and bioactive molecules. Its structure features a protected amine group and a reactive ketone functionality, making it valuable for constructing complex nitrogen-containing compounds. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for the development of cyclic amines and heterocycles, especially in routes targeting kinase inhibitors, CNS agents, and anti-inflammatory drugs. The carbamate group allows for easy deprotection under mild conditions, enabling further functionalization in multi-step syntheses.
