Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active pyridine derivatives. The Boc-protected amine allows for selective deprotection and further functionalization, while the bromine atom enables cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations. Commonly employed in the preparation of drug candidates targeting cancer, inflammation, and central nervous system disorders. Its structure supports the construction of complex heterocyclic systems found in modern therapeutic agents.
