Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective modification in drug design, especially in creating compounds targeting neurological and inflammatory pathways. The tert-butyl carbamate group serves as a protecting group for amines during multi-step syntheses, enabling controlled reactivity. The bromopyridine moiety facilitates cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in building complex heterocyclic systems found in modern therapeutics.
