This chemical is primarily used in the development of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that target inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Its structure allows it to act as a key intermediate in the production of drugs designed to inhibit specific enzymes or pathways involved in inflammation. Additionally, it is explored in research for its potential role in creating novel therapeutic agents for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Its unique spirocyclic structure also makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing molecules with enhanced stability and bioavailability.
