Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry for constructing complex molecules. Its alkyne group allows participation in click chemistry reactions, such as copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), enabling efficient coupling with other molecular fragments. The piperidine ring protected with a Boc group makes it valuable in peptide and heterocyclic chemistry, where selective deprotection and functionalization are required. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive compounds, including CNS agents and receptor modulators.
