Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure allows for selective modification in multi-step organic reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in the preparation of drug candidates targeting inflammatory diseases, cancer, and viral infections. The Boc-protected amine group enables controlled deprotection and coupling steps, facilitating peptide-like chain elongation in non-peptide frameworks.
