Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and functionalized polymers. The iodine moiety allows for further derivatization via cross-coupling reactions or nucleophilic substitution, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex molecules. The tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) group serves as a protected amine, enabling controlled deprotection during multi-step syntheses. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive compounds, including kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents.
