Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a protected amine derivative, enabling selective reactions in multi-step syntheses. The tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group provides stability under various reaction conditions and can be removed under mild acidic conditions, making it valuable in peptide synthesis and medicinal chemistry. The bromo substituent allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions or nucleophilic substitution, facilitating the construction of complex molecules.
