Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and central nervous system agents. Its spirocyclic structure with a fluorine substituent enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its ability to modulate potency and pharmacokinetic properties. Also utilized in the preparation of bioactive molecules targeting neurological disorders and inflammatory conditions.
