Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceutical compounds. It serves as a building block in the development of bioactive molecules due to the presence of hydrazide and protected amine functional groups. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing peptidomimetics and heterocyclic systems. Its Boc-protected piperidine moiety makes it valuable in the synthesis of drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders and enzyme inhibitors. Also utilized in combinatorial chemistry for generating compound libraries.
