Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of antiviral and antibacterial agents. Its cyclopropyl and amino alcohol functionalities make it valuable in drug design for enhancing metabolic stability and bioavailability. Also employed in the development of active ingredients in agrochemicals due to its ability to improve compound selectivity and environmental persistence. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of chiral catalysts and ligands used in asymmetric synthesis.
