Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and drug candidates. Its fluorinated piperidine structure enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing pharmacokinetic properties. Commonly employed in the construction of central nervous system agents, receptor modulators, and enzyme inhibitors. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group allows for easy protection of the nitrogen, enabling selective reactions in multi-step synthetic routes.
