Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the construction of complex heterocyclic compounds with potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. The tert-butyl carbamate group acts as a protecting group for the amine, enabling selective reactions in multi-step synthetic routes. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for modifying quinoline-based scaffolds to enhance drug potency and metabolic stability.
