Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of fluorinated indene-based drugs. Its structure supports the construction of complex molecules with potential activity in central nervous system therapies and anti-inflammatory agents. The Boc-protected amine group allows for selective deprotection and further functionalization in multi-step organic syntheses. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in drug discovery programs targeting kinase inhibitors and serotonin receptor modulators.
