Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure allows for selective modification in drug design, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research. Commonly employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty chemicals where halogenated aromatic moieties enhance stability and binding affinity. Suitable for solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis due to the presence of the tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group, enabling controlled amine deprotection under mild acidic conditions.
