Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the development of kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. The tert-butyl carbamate group acts as a protecting group for amines during multi-step syntheses, enabling selective reactions. It is also employed in the preparation of fluorescent dyes and sensors due to the benzo[d]thiazole core’s photophysical properties. Commonly applied in research settings for drug discovery and material science.
