This compound is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of complex molecules in pharmaceutical research. It serves as a key intermediate in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its Boc-protected amine group, which allows for selective reactions. The bromo substituent makes it a versatile building block for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig reactions. Its methoxyphenyl group can contribute to the stability and bioavailability of the final drug molecule. Additionally, it is utilized in peptide synthesis and the creation of small molecule inhibitors for therapeutic targets.
