Used as a protected amine building block in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group allows for reversible protection of the amine, enabling selective reactions at other functional sites. The triethylene glycol-like iodide tail acts as a linker or spacer, useful in the development of prodrugs, bioconjugates, or polymer-supported compounds. Its iodine terminus can undergo substitution reactions, such as nucleophilic displacement or click chemistry, making it valuable in the design of functional molecules, including drug delivery systems and molecular probes.
