Used primarily in organic synthesis, especially in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. It serves as a protected boronic ester derivative of 2-aminopyridine, enabling the selective formation of carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediates. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group provides protection for the amine functionality, allowing the boronate ester to participate in coupling reactions without interference. After coupling, the Boc group can be easily removed under mild acidic conditions to liberate the free amine for further functionalization. This compound is valuable in the development of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic systems commonly found in bioactive molecules and drug candidates.
