Used as a protected intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of pyridine-based active ingredients. The Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl) groups provide amine protection during multi-step reactions, allowing selective functionalization at other sites of the molecule. The bromine substituent enables further coupling reactions, such as palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings (e.g., Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig), making it valuable in building complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules where the pyridine scaffold is essential.
