Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of biologically active compounds and drug candidates. Its protected amine and azetidine ring structure make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex molecules, especially in the design of enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators. Commonly employed in peptide-like synthesis and heterocyclic chemistry due to its structural stability and reactivity. Widely utilized in research settings for creating libraries of compounds in drug discovery programs.
