Used in organic synthesis as a protected aniline derivative, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. The tert-butyl carbamate group acts as a protecting group for the amine, allowing selective reactions at other sites of the molecule. The iodophenyl moiety enables further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck couplings, making it valuable in the construction of complex aromatic compounds. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules where controlled deprotection and coupling steps are required.
