This compound is primarily used in peptide synthesis, particularly in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). It serves as a protected amino acid derivative, where the Fmoc (fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) group protects the amino functionality, and the Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) group protects the piperidine nitrogen. This dual protection allows for selective deprotection during the stepwise assembly of peptides, ensuring precise control over the sequence. The compound is especially valuable in synthesizing peptides containing piperidine derivatives, which are often found in bioactive molecules and pharmaceuticals. Its application is crucial in research and development of peptide-based drugs, where structural complexity and functional group protection are essential.
