Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and heterocyclic compounds. Its structure supports the formation of complex nitrogen-containing rings, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing drugs with specific biological activity. Commonly employed in research settings for constructing spirocyclic frameworks that exhibit potential in central nervous system agents and enzyme inhibitors. Also utilized in the preparation of functionalized piperidine derivatives, which are important scaffolds in drug discovery.
