Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where piperazine derivatives are required. Its Boc-protected structure allows for selective deprotection and further functionalization, making it valuable in multi-step organic synthesis. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for creating drug candidates targeting neurological disorders, metabolic diseases, and infectious conditions. Also utilized in research settings for building complex molecules due to its stability and reactivity profile.
