This compound is primarily used in peptide synthesis, particularly in the development of peptide-based drugs and research. Its structure, featuring a fluorine atom on the phenyl ring, enhances the stability and bioavailability of peptides, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. It is often incorporated into peptide sequences to study receptor interactions or to improve the pharmacokinetic properties of therapeutic peptides. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the synthesis of modified peptides for targeted drug delivery systems and in the exploration of enzyme inhibitors. Its unique properties also make it useful in biochemical research for probing protein-protein interactions and studying peptide folding dynamics.
