Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceutical development. Its rigid bicyclic structure and protected functional groups make it valuable for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles found in drug candidates. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies due to its ability to mimic peptide motifs and enhance metabolic stability. The Boc-protected amine allows for selective deprotection and further derivatization, enabling efficient route design in medicinal chemistry.
