Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its spirocyclic structure and functional groups make it valuable for constructing complex molecules with high selectivity and binding affinity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates targeting neurological disorders due to its conformational rigidity and improved metabolic stability. Also utilized in the preparation of bioactive molecules where morpholine and bridged bicyclic systems enhance solubility and pharmacokinetic properties.
