Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of fluorinated heterocyclic drugs. Its spirocyclic structure and fluorine substitution make it valuable for enhancing metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for CNS-targeted agents and kinase inhibitors due to its conformational rigidity and ability to modulate lipophilicity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with improved resistance profiles.
