Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of functionalized polymers and surface coatings, where the protected amine group enables controlled grafting and crosslinking reactions. Its long alkyl chain provides flexibility and enhances compatibility with hydrophobic matrices. Commonly employed in the development of specialty adhesives, biomedical materials, and ligands for catalysis, where a masked primary amine is required for stepwise assembly. Also utilized in peptide chemistry and dendrimer construction due to its orthogonal protection capability in multi-step reactions.
