Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure, featuring a bromo substituent, cyano group, and dihydro-1,7-naphthyridine core protected with a tert-butyl carboxylate, allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Commonly employed in research settings to prepare potential drug candidates targeting cancer and inflammatory diseases.
