Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both amine and ester functional groups, enabling use in peptidomimetic design and medicinal chemistry research. Commonly employed in the preparation of compounds targeting neurological disorders, including potential applications in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease drug development. Also utilized in asymmetric synthesis due to its chiral centers, aiding in the production of enantiomerically pure drugs.
