Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. Its unique spirocyclic and fluorinated structure enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability, making it valuable in drug design. Commonly employed in the development of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analogs and other neuroactive agents. Also utilized in agrochemicals for improving the potency and environmental stability of active ingredients.
