Used in pharmaceutical research as a protected intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. Its structure supports the development of protease inhibitors and kinase inhibitors, particularly in oncology and antiviral drug discovery. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group enables selective amine protection during peptide coupling and multi-step synthesis, enhancing stability and solubility in organic solvents. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex heterocyclic systems with potential therapeutic activity.
