Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents and cognitive enhancers. Its spirocyclic structure provides conformational rigidity, making it valuable in drug design for improving metabolic stability and receptor selectivity. Commonly found in compounds targeting neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia. Also employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Its oxygen and nitrogen heteroatoms facilitate hydrogen bonding, enhancing interactions with biological targets.
