Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules that require a piperidine scaffold with fluorinated and silyl-protected functional groups. Its structure allows for selective deprotection and further derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex drug candidates. Commonly employed in research settings to introduce sterically hindered, electron-rich piperidine rings into target molecules, especially those exploring central nervous system agents or metabolic stability enhancements.
