Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where protected amino groups are required. Its ester and Boc-protected amine functionalities make it valuable in peptide coupling reactions and in building complex molecules through stepwise organic synthesis. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory diseases. Also utilized in research settings for preparing prodrugs and bifunctional linkers in bioconjugation.
