Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure allows for selective modification, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating drug candidates targeting cancer, inflammation, and central nervous system disorders. Commonly employed in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide-like synthesis due to the presence of both protected amine and carboxylic acid functional groups, enabling stepwise assembly of complex heterocyclic systems. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with improved stability and selectivity.
