Used as a key chiral intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. Its rigid cyclopropane structure and fluorinated aromatic group enhance binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in the development of serotonin and dopamine receptor modulators due to its favorable stereochemistry and lipophilic properties. Also utilized in agrochemicals for improving the potency and environmental stability of active ingredients.
