Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in research settings to build drug candidates targeting neurological disorders and certain cancers. The Boc-protected amine group enables controlled deprotection and coupling reactions, facilitating efficient and selective synthesis routes in multi-step organic transformations.
