N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)aminoferrocene is primarily utilized in the field of organometallic chemistry and materials science. Its application is significant in the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in the development of catalysts and ligands for asymmetric synthesis. The tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group serves as a protective group for the amino functionality, allowing for selective reactions to occur at other sites of the molecule. This compound is also explored in the creation of novel ferrocene-based polymers and dendrimers, which have potential uses in electronic devices, sensors, and as components in advanced materials. Additionally, its unique structure makes it a candidate for studying electron transfer processes and redox-active materials.
