It is primarily used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the preparation of more complex chemical compounds. Its structure, featuring a tert-butyl carbamate group attached to a 4-methoxy-2-methyl-substituted aromatic ring, makes it valuable in the development of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that require specific functional groups for biological activity. Additionally, it can be utilized in the production of agrochemicals, where its aromatic and carbamate functionalities contribute to the design of herbicides or pesticides. The compound’s stability and reactivity also make it suitable for research purposes in the study of reaction mechanisms or the development of novel synthetic pathways, including potential applications in enzyme inhibitors.
