Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It plays a key role in the construction of complex molecules, especially in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The Boc group provides protection for the amine functionality during reactions, while the iodo substituent allows for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Sonogashira couplings. This compound is valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing and optimizing drug candidates.
