Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its halogen substituents (bromine and iodine) allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic systems. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group protects the amine functionality during synthesis and can be easily removed under mild acidic conditions when needed. This compound is valuable in medicinal chemistry for generating novel analogs in drug discovery programs.
