Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in constructing complex heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions due to the presence of the bromo substituent, enabling carbon–carbon bond formation. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group serves as a protected amine, facilitating stepwise synthesis in peptide and peptidomimetic chemistry. Stable under various reaction conditions, it supports multi-step synthetic routes in drug discovery and medicinal chemistry.
