Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as a protected building block for drug development, particularly in the preparation of bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders. The Boc-protected amine and carboxamide functional group allow selective reactivity, enabling controlled coupling reactions in peptide-like structures. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing piperidine-based scaffolds found in receptor agonists and antagonists. Its structural rigidity supports improved metabolic stability and target selectivity in final drug candidates.
