This compound is primarily used in organic synthesis as a protected diamine intermediate. It is particularly valuable in peptide chemistry, where the Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl) group serves as a protective group for the amine functionality, preventing unwanted reactions during synthesis. The hydrochloride form enhances its stability and solubility, making it easier to handle in various reactions. It is also employed in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds and as a building block in the development of pharmaceuticals, especially in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that require precise control over amine reactivity. Additionally, it finds utility in the creation of ligands for catalysis and in materials science for designing functionalized polymers.
