Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of fluorinated piperidine-based drugs. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules with enhanced metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders and other therapeutic areas where fluorinated heterocycles improve pharmacokinetic properties. The Boc-protected amine allows for selective reactions at other functional sites, making it valuable in multi-step organic syntheses.
