Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of a piperidine ring protected with a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group and a benzoyl moiety at the 4-position, which can be further modified. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing drug candidates targeting neurological disorders, pain management, and psychiatric conditions. Also utilized in research settings for library synthesis in high-throughput screening due to its favorable reactivity and stability.
