Used in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors, particularly for targeting tyrosine kinases involved in cancer cell proliferation. Its structure supports the development of compounds with high selectivity and binding affinity to specific enzyme sites. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates in oncology and inflammatory disease programs. Suitable for solid-phase and solution-phase peptide-like synthesis due to the protected piperidine and carboxylic acid functionalities.
