Used primarily in organic synthesis as a boronic ester coupling partner in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Its structure allows for the introduction of a protected aminomethylbenzyl group into complex molecules, making it valuable in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) protecting group ensures stability of the amine during reactions and can be easily removed under mild acidic conditions when needed. This compound is especially useful in medicinal chemistry for constructing biaryl systems with amine-containing side chains, enabling efficient access to target molecules in drug discovery.
