Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as an intermediate for developing bioactive molecules, particularly in the creation of receptor modulators and enzyme inhibitors. Its piperidine-carbamate structure with trifluoromethoxy aromatic group enhances metabolic stability and binding selectivity, making it valuable in drug discovery programs targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory diseases. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its ability to improve pharmacokinetic properties in lead compounds.
