Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of fluorinated analogs of bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the introduction of a difluorocyclohexyl group, which can enhance metabolic stability and membrane permeability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing peptidomimetics and enzyme inhibitors where steric and electronic effects of fluorine play a key role. The Boc-protected amine allows for selective deprotection and further coupling in multi-step organic syntheses, making it valuable in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis.
