Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure supports the construction of complex amines found in receptor modulators. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in drug discovery, especially for kinase inhibitors and GPCR-targeted agents. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group provides amine protection during peptide-like coupling reactions, enabling selective functionalization. Also utilized in the preparation of novel heterocyclic systems for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
