Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in peptide coupling and solid-phase synthesis due to the presence of both carboxylic acid and protected amine groups, enabling stepwise assembly of drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients requiring precise molecular architecture.
