Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of beta-lactam antibiotics. Its protected amino group allows selective reactivity in peptide coupling reactions, making it valuable in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis. The fluorine substituent enhances metabolic stability and influences the electronic properties of the final compound, which can improve drug potency and bioavailability. Commonly employed in the preparation of enzyme inhibitors and other bioactive molecules where stereochemistry and aromatic fluorination play critical roles in target binding.
