Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its protected amine group allows for selective reactions in multi-step organic syntheses. Commonly employed in the development of heterocyclic compounds where the furan ring acts as a structural scaffold. The Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl) protection enables mild deprotection conditions, making it suitable for peptide-like chain elongation and combinatorial chemistry. Also utilized in the preparation of enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators due to the furan’s ability to participate in π-stacking interactions.
