Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of neuroactive compounds. Its spirocyclic structure and nitrogen heteroatom make it valuable for designing molecules with specific stereochemistry and bioavailability. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, especially in central nervous system (CNS) drug discovery. Also utilized as an intermediate in the preparation of spirocyclic analogs for potential use in treating neurological disorders.
