Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of functionalized polymers and crosslinking agents. Its epoxide group readily undergoes ring-opening reactions with nucleophiles such as amines, alcohols, or thiols, enabling the construction of complex molecular architectures. Commonly employed in the development of specialty coatings, adhesives, and epoxy resins where controlled reactivity and stability are required. Also utilized in pharmaceutical synthesis to introduce protected amine functionalities that can be deprotected and further modified. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group provides excellent protection for the amine during multi-step reactions, ensuring selective reactivity at the epoxide site.
