Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as a protected intermediate for indole-based drug candidates. The Boc group stabilizes the amine during reactions, allowing selective modification at other sites on the indole ring. Commonly employed in the development of serotonin receptor modulators, kinase inhibitors, and anti-inflammatory agents. Its structure supports the construction of complex heterocyclic systems found in bioactive molecules. Suitable for solid-phase and solution-phase peptide-like synthesis where indole motifs are required.
