Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for central nervous system (CNS) disorders and psychiatric conditions. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both amine and ester functional groups, enabling diverse chemical modifications. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing piperidine-based drug candidates, it contributes to improving metabolic stability and receptor binding affinity. Also utilized in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies in oncology research. Its protected amine group allows for selective reactions, making it valuable in multi-step organic synthesis.
