Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its protected amine group and halogenated aromatic structure make it valuable for selective coupling reactions in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in research settings for constructing complex heterocyclic systems found in drug candidates targeting neurological disorders and inflammatory conditions. The Boc-protected amine allows for controlled deprotection and further functionalization, enabling stepwise assembly of multi-component drug-like molecules.
