Used in organic synthesis as a key intermediate for the preparation of peptides and peptidomimetics. Its structure is particularly valuable in the development of biologically active compounds, such as enzyme inhibitors and receptor ligands, due to the presence of the imidazole and Boc-protected amine groups. It is also employed in the synthesis of complex molecules for pharmaceutical research, aiding in the study of drug delivery systems and the optimization of drug candidates. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the creation of chiral compounds, which are essential in asymmetric synthesis and the production of enantiomerically pure drugs.
