Used as a protected amine building block in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. The epoxide group enables ring-opening reactions with nucleophiles, allowing for the introduction of functionalized side chains. The tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group provides amine protection during multi-step syntheses, ensuring selective reactivity. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), where controlled functional group reactivity is essential. Its structure supports the synthesis of complex amines through sequential deprotection and coupling steps.
