This chemical is primarily used in organic synthesis as a versatile intermediate for the preparation of more complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical research. It serves as a key building block in the development of compounds with potential therapeutic applications, such as inhibitors or modulators of biological targets. The Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl) protecting group allows for selective deprotection, enabling controlled reactions in multi-step synthetic processes. Its spirocyclic structure contributes to the rigidity and stability of the resulting compounds, making it valuable in drug discovery and medicinal chemistry. Additionally, it can be employed in the synthesis of natural products or bioactive molecules with spirocyclic frameworks.
