Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The bromomethyl group allows for further functionalization through nucleophilic substitution reactions, enabling the introduction of various side chains. The tert-butyl carbamate moiety serves as a protected amine, which can be deprotected under mild conditions to release the corresponding amine for use in subsequent reactions. Commonly employed in the synthesis of bioactive molecules, including kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents. Its structure facilitates the construction of complex aromatic amines found in drug candidates.
