Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and medicinal compounds. Its piperidine core with fluorinated aromatic substituent makes it valuable in constructing drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders and receptor modulators. The tert-butyl and pentafluorophenyl groups facilitate selective reactions and enhance metabolic stability in final active ingredients. Commonly employed in research settings for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and optimization of novel therapeutics.
