This chemical is primarily utilized in organic synthesis as a versatile intermediate for constructing complex molecular structures. It is particularly valuable in medicinal chemistry for the development of pharmaceuticals, where its spirocyclic and functional groups enable the creation of bioactive compounds. The bromo group allows for further derivatization through cross-coupling reactions, while the ester group can be hydrolyzed or transformed into other functional groups. Its application extends to the synthesis of potential drug candidates targeting neurological disorders, inflammation, or infectious diseases. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the design of novel heterocyclic compounds for agrochemical research.
