Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals. Its piperidine core with protected amine (Boc group) and allyl functionalities allows for selective reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex molecules. The allyl and allyloxy groups can undergo further transformations such as cross-coupling, olefin metathesis, or oxidation, enabling its use in synthesizing bioactive compounds, including potential central nervous system agents or receptor modulators. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building nitrogen-containing heterocycles.
