Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of biologically active molecules targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure supports the construction of conformationally restricted analogs, enhancing selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to the steric bulk of the tert-butyl carbamate group, which aids in modulating solubility and protecting amine functionalities during multi-step syntheses.
