Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its protected functional groups allow selective deprotection and further derivatization, making it valuable in multi-step organic synthesis. The silyl and tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) protections enhance stability during reactions, enabling efficient construction of complex piperidine-based structures commonly found in drug candidates. Widely applied in medicinal chemistry for optimizing potency, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties.
