Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and central nervous system agents. Its rigid bicyclic structure with a protected amine group makes it valuable for constructing complex molecules with high selectivity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for scaffold diversification and optimization of drug candidates targeting neurological disorders and cancer. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) protection allows for controlled deprotection and further functionalization in multi-step syntheses.
