Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its protected amine functionality allows for selective reactions in multi-step organic syntheses. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex drug candidates due to the stability and ease of deprotection of the tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials where halogenated aromatic moieties are required for further cross-coupling reactions.
