Used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Its boronate ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, making it valuable for constructing complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive compounds and drug candidates, especially those involving pyrazole and piperidine scaffolds. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group provides protection for the piperidine nitrogen, allowing selective reactivity and compatibility with multi-step synthetic routes. Widely applied in medicinal chemistry for lead optimization and library synthesis in drug discovery programs.
