Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of indole-based pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of serotonin receptor modulators and other central nervous system agents. Its boronic acid functionality enables Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, allowing for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in complex molecule assembly. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing bioactive molecules and in the preparation of analogs for structure-activity relationship studies. The Boc-protected amine and methoxy group provide stability and selective deprotection options during multi-step syntheses.
