Used in organic synthesis as a key intermediate for pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. Its spirocyclic structure with a bromine substituent makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and central nervous system agents. The bromine functionality allows for further functionalization via palladium-catalyzed reactions, enabling the construction of complex molecular architectures. It is also employed in medicinal chemistry for scaffold diversification in drug discovery programs targeting neurological disorders and cancer.
