Used in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive molecules, particularly kinase inhibitors. Its structure supports the development of compounds with potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. The benzyl and methoxy groups enhance binding selectivity, while the tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group serves as a protecting group in peptide-like synthesis, enabling controlled stepwise assembly of complex molecules. Commonly applied in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates targeting signal transduction pathways.
