This chemical is primarily used in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It serves as a key intermediate in the development of various biologically active compounds, particularly in the synthesis of drug candidates. The presence of the bromo and methoxy groups on the pyridine ring makes it a versatile building block for further functionalization, enabling the creation of complex molecules. It is often employed in the preparation of inhibitors, receptor modulators, and other therapeutic agents targeting specific biological pathways. Additionally, its carbamate group provides stability and can be selectively deprotected, allowing for controlled reactions in multi-step synthetic processes.
