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