Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. It plays a significant role in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds to create complex molecules. This compound is valuable in drug discovery and development, especially in the synthesis of pyridine derivatives, which are often found in drugs targeting various diseases. Its boronic acid group allows for efficient and selective coupling with aryl halides, making it a versatile reagent in medicinal chemistry. The tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group protects the amino functionality at the 6-position of the pyridine ring, facilitating selective synthesis, control, and deprotection in multi-step processes. Additionally, it is employed in the production of advanced materials and agrochemicals due to its ability to introduce functional groups into organic frameworks.
