Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients requiring selective substitution on an aromatic ring. Its protected amine group (Boc-protected) allows for controlled reactivity during multi-step syntheses, making it valuable in the preparation of complex drug molecules. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations, where the bromine moiety serves as a leaving group. Also utilized in the research and development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds in medicinal chemistry.
