Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and drug candidates. Its structure supports the creation of complex amines through selective protection and coupling reactions. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing peptidomimetics and central nervous system agents due to the stability and steric properties of the tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group. Enables efficient synthesis of chiral pyrrolidine derivatives, which are prevalent in drugs targeting neurological disorders and metabolic diseases.
