1-(tert-Butyloxycarbonyl)-3,3-difluoro-4-aminopiperidine is synthetic building block for pharmaceuticals. It can be obtained from N-Benzyl-β-alanine Ethyl Ester (B232975) which is used as a reagent in organic synthesis including that of dipivaloyloxyphenyl aminopropionate β-agonist prodrugs which are used in the treatment of psoriasis. N-Benzyl-β-alanine Ethyl Ester (B232975) is also used in the synthesis of N,N'-dithiobis(N-benzyl-β-alanine) dethyl ester, which is an important intermediate of insecticide OK-135, and in synthesis of spiropiperidine-based orexin-2 receptor (OX2R) antagonists.
