Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of enzyme inhibitors. Shows potential in medicinal chemistry for designing drugs targeting neurological disorders due to its structural similarity to known neuroactive agents. Its phosphoramidate core allows for incorporation into prodrug strategies, enhancing cellular uptake and bioavailability. Also employed in asymmetric synthesis owing to its chiral cyclohexyl backbone, supporting the creation of enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals.
