Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of naphthalene-based pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a protected amine derivative, allowing selective functionalization at other sites of the molecule. The tert-butyl carbamate group can be easily removed under mild acidic conditions, making it valuable in multi-step synthesis where controlled deprotection is required. Also employed in the development of fluorescent dyes and optoelectronic materials due to the naphthalene core’s photophysical properties. Its bromo substituent enables further cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig, to build complex aromatic systems.
