Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules containing trifluoroethylamine motifs. Its structure allows for selective introduction of the tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group in nitrogen-containing compounds, enabling controlled stepwise synthesis in drug discovery. Commonly employed in the preparation of antitumor agents, kinase inhibitors, and central nervous system modulators due to the stability and reactivity profile of the bromo- and trifluoromethyl-substituted scaffold. Also utilized in agrochemical research for building complex heterocyclic systems.
