Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of a piperidine ring and a cyclopropylamino group, both commonly found in drugs targeting neurological disorders. It is also employed in medicinal chemistry research for designing novel receptor modulators, including those targeting serotonin and dopamine receptors. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group provides protection during peptide-like synthesis, enabling selective reactions in multi-step organic routes.
