Used as a key 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 potency. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates targeting neurological disorders, including anxiety, depression, and psychosis. The bromine substituent allows further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, enabling rapid diversification in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Also utilized in the preparation of novel receptor modulators, especially those acting on serotonin and dopamine pathways. Its benzyl carbamate group serves as a protecting group during multi-step syntheses, improving yield and stability of intermediates.
