Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in medicinal chemistry for developing bioactive compounds. Its structure allows selective functionalization in alkaloid synthesis and enables efficient construction of nitrogen-containing heterocycles. The trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy group acts as a good leaving group, facilitating palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The Boc-protected amine provides stability and controlled deprotection during multi-step syntheses, making it valuable in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and natural products.
