Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure supports the construction of complex heterocyclic systems found in drug candidates targeting inflammatory diseases, cancer, and central nervous system disorders. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group provides protection for the amine during peptide coupling or sequential reactions, enabling selective functionalization. The chloronicotinamide moiety contributes to binding affinity in receptor interactions, making this compound valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
