Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and functionalized polymers. Its structure contains both a protected amine group and a terminal chloroalkyl chain, enabling selective chemical modifications. The chloroalkyl group can undergo nucleophilic substitution to introduce the molecule into larger frameworks, while the carbamate group allows for controlled deprotection to release a primary amine. Commonly employed in the development of drug conjugates, linkers for antibody-drug complexes (ADCs), and as a building block in solid-phase synthesis. Also utilized in the preparation of specialty surfactants and surface modifiers due to its amphiphilic characteristics.
