Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a precursor in the production of various compounds, including herbicides and fungicides. Also employed in the development of ureido-based drugs, particularly in cancer therapy and enzyme inhibition studies. Its stability and reactivity make it valuable in peptide chemistry for modifying amino acids. Additionally, it is utilized in research for studying protein interactions and as a reagent in chemical reactions to introduce tert-butyl groups.
