Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical development. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in constructing complex nitrogen-containing compounds. The vinyl group enables further modification through reactions like hydroboration, epoxidation, or Diels-Alder cycloadditions, while the protected amine (carbamate) ensures stability during multi-step syntheses. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules, including potential drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders. Also utilized in the synthesis of chiral ligands and catalysts due to the piperidine core’s ability to coordinate metals when deprotected.
