Used in organic synthesis as a boronic ester coupling partner in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to construct biaryl or heteroaryl frameworks. Its protected pyrrolopyridine core makes it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research for developing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. The tert-butyl carbamate group allows for further functionalization or deprotection under mild acidic conditions, enabling sequential synthetic strategies in drug discovery. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules where the pyrrolopyridine scaffold is a key pharmacophore.
