This compound is primarily utilized in organic synthesis as a key intermediate or building block for the development of more complex molecules. Its unique spirocyclic structure makes it valuable in the design of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the creation of drugs targeting neurological disorders or as a precursor for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Additionally, its tert-butyl ester groups provide stability and ease of manipulation in synthetic pathways, making it suitable for use in peptide synthesis and the preparation of specialized polymers. Researchers also explore its potential in materials science for developing advanced coatings or adhesives with tailored properties.
