Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its bromoalkyl chain allows for nucleophilic substitution reactions, enabling the introduction of the protected aminohexyl group into target molecules. The tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group ensures the amine remains inert during reactions and can be easily deprotected under mild acidic conditions when needed. Commonly employed in the synthesis of bioactive compounds, including receptor ligands and enzyme inhibitors, where a spacer arm with a terminal amine is required. Also utilized in the development of functionalized polymers and surface modifiers in material science due to its reactivity and compatibility with various coupling strategies.
