Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of neuroactive compounds and central nervous system modulators. Its spirocyclic structure and chiral amine functionality make it valuable for constructing bioactive molecules with high selectivity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates targeting neurological disorders due to its favorable steric and electronic properties. The Boc-protected amine allows for controlled deprotection and coupling in multi-step syntheses, enhancing its utility in creating complex drug architectures.
