Used as a chiral intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents and enzyme inhibitors. Its protected amine and carbamoyl functional groups allow for selective reactions in multi-step organic syntheses. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules where stereochemistry plays a critical role in activity. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for building constrained piperidine scaffolds that enhance metabolic stability and target binding affinity.
