Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceutical compounds targeting central nervous system disorders. Its spirocyclic structure and functional groups make it valuable for constructing complex nitrogen-containing heterocycles. It has been explored in the synthesis of potential anticonvulsant and neuroprotective agents. The chloroethyl group allows for further alkylation or cyclization reactions, enabling the formation of fused ring systems important in medicinal chemistry. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of novel analogs for structure-activity relationship studies in drug discovery programs.
