Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its piperazine core and pyridine functionality make it valuable for constructing drug candidates targeting neurological disorders, inflammation, and cancer. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group allows for easy protection of amines during multi-step syntheses, while the methoxycarbonyl moiety can be hydrolyzed or transformed to introduce additional functional groups. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its favorable solubility and ability to modulate molecular polarity.
