Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry for constructing complex molecules. Its bromoacetyl group readily undergoes nucleophilic substitution, enabling the introduction of various functional groups. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive compounds, including potential drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) protecting group ensures stability during reactions and can be easily removed under mild acidic conditions, making it valuable in multi-step peptide and heterocyclic syntheses.
