Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where the tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group serves as a protecting group for amines. The presence of the 4-bromophenyl moiety allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for the preparation of drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders, inflammation, and oncology. Its stability under various reaction conditions makes it valuable in multi-step synthetic routes.
