This chemical is primarily used in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It serves as an intermediate in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the synthesis of complex molecules. Its structure, featuring bromo, chloro, and hydroxy substituents on a pyridine ring, makes it a valuable building block for constructing heterocyclic compounds, which are often found in drugs targeting various diseases. Additionally, the tert-butyl carbamate group provides stability during synthetic processes, enabling its use in multi-step reactions. Its applications are particularly relevant in medicinal chemistry for the design and optimization of drug candidates.
