This chemical is primarily used in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries as an intermediate in the synthesis of complex organic compounds, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its structure, featuring both a tert-butyl carbamate group and an amino group on a tetrahydrofuran ring, makes it a valuable building block for creating molecules with specific stereochemistry. It is often employed in the production of antiviral drugs, enzyme inhibitors, and other therapeutic agents where precise control of molecular configuration is critical. Additionally, its stability and reactivity make it suitable for use in peptide coupling reactions and other organic transformations.
