This compound is primarily utilized in the field of organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It serves as a key intermediate in the development of various biologically active molecules, particularly in the synthesis of complex spirocyclic structures. Its unique spirocyclic and piperidine components make it valuable for constructing pharmacophores that target central nervous system (CNS) disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, it is employed in the preparation of compounds with potential therapeutic applications in pain management and inflammation. The CBZ (carbobenzyloxy) protecting group enhances its utility in peptide synthesis and other multi-step chemical processes.
