Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its protected amine group allows for selective reactions in multi-step organic syntheses, improving yield and purity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing drug candidates targeting cancer, inflammation, and central nervous system disorders. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group provides stability under various reaction conditions and can be easily removed when needed, making it valuable in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide-like synthesis.
