Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive molecules, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Its spirocyclic structure and nitrogen atoms make it valuable for designing compounds with specific receptor binding properties. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates targeting neurological disorders due to its conformational rigidity and potential blood-brain barrier permeability. Also utilized in the preparation of novel ligands for G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), aiding in the study of receptor activation and signaling pathways.
