Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its protected amine functionality allows for selective reactions in multi-step organic syntheses. The bromine substituent enables further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in research settings for designing drug candidates targeting neurological disorders and cancer.
