Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting kinase inhibitors and anti-cancer agents. Its structure supports the development of potent inhibitors by enabling selective modifications on the benzothiazole core. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing drug candidates due to the stability and reactivity of the tert-butyl carbamate protecting group. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
