This compound is primarily used in peptide synthesis as a building block. It serves as a protected intermediate, where the Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl) and Fmoc (fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) groups protect the amine functionalities. This allows for selective deprotection and coupling during solid-phase peptide synthesis, enabling the construction of complex peptide structures. It is particularly useful in the synthesis of peptides containing piperidine moieties, which are common in bioactive molecules. Its dual protection strategy ensures precise control over the sequence and structure of the synthesized peptides, making it valuable in pharmaceutical research and drug development.
