Used primarily as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, this compound plays a key role in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both amine and piperazine functionalities, which are common in drugs targeting neurological disorders. It is also employed in the preparation of selective receptor modulators, including serotonin and dopamine receptor ligands. The t-butyl carbamate (Boc) group provides protection during synthesis, allowing for selective reactions, making it valuable in multi-step organic routes for drug development.
