Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders. Its spirocyclic structure and functional groups make it valuable for constructing complex piperidine-based scaffolds, which are common in medicinal chemistry. The bromo substituent allows for further cross-coupling reactions, enabling the introduction of diverse aromatic or heteroaromatic moieties. The tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group protects the amine during synthesis and can be easily removed under mild acidic conditions, facilitating stepwise assembly of target compounds. Commonly employed in research settings for generating libraries of analogs in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
