Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. Its structure supports the construction of benzodiazepine-like frameworks, which are commonly found in anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and sedative drugs. The bromo functional group allows for further cross-coupling reactions, enabling the introduction of diverse substituents during drug optimization. The tert-butyl carboxylate group acts as a protected amine, facilitating selective deprotection and derivatization in multistep synthetic routes. Widely employed in medicinal chemistry for scaffold modification and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
