Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of functionalized amines and heterocyclic compounds. Its bromoalkyl chain allows for nucleophilic substitution reactions, enabling the introduction of the protected amine moiety into larger molecular frameworks. Commonly employed in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers where a spacer arm with a terminal protected amine is required. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group provides orthogonal protection, facilitating multi-step syntheses by allowing selective deprotection under mild acidic conditions. Also utilized in the synthesis of ligands for catalysis and in the construction of bioactive molecule libraries.
