Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its spirocyclic structure and protected amine functionality make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules where conformational rigidity is required to enhance receptor selectivity or metabolic stability. Also utilized in research settings for the design of novel psychotherapeutic and neurodegenerative disease-targeted compounds.
