Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. Its functional groups allow for selective reactions, making it valuable in constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles and amine derivatives. Commonly employed in the preparation of protected aminoalkyl building blocks for peptide-like structures. The bromo groups enable alkylation and cross-coupling reactions, useful in medicinal chemistry for developing drug candidates. Also applied in the design of ligands and functionalized polymers due to its bifunctional reactivity.
