Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the formation of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, which are common in drug design for oncology and infectious diseases. The tert-butyl carbamate group acts as a protecting group for amines during multi-step syntheses, allowing selective reactions at other functional sites. The bromoquinoline moiety enables further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex molecular architectures.
