This chemical is primarily used in the field of organic synthesis as a versatile building block for the creation of complex molecules. Its unique spirocyclic structure, combined with the presence of sulfur atoms, makes it valuable in the development of compounds with potential biological activity. It is often employed in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, which are important in pharmaceutical research for drug discovery. Additionally, its sulfur-containing framework is useful in materials science, particularly in the design of polymers and ligands for metal coordination chemistry. The compound's stability and reactivity also make it a candidate for use in catalysis and as a precursor for advanced chemical transformations.
