Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. Its spirocyclic structure contributes to conformational rigidity, enhancing selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Employed in the development of novel enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators due to its unique heterocyclic framework. Also applied in medicinal chemistry research for building complex nitrogen-containing scaffolds with potential anticonvulsant or neuroprotective activity.
