Used as a key chiral intermediate in the synthesis of certain pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of fluorinated cyclopropane-containing drugs. Its rigid cyclopropane structure and defined stereochemistry make it valuable for developing biologically active molecules with high selectivity, especially in cardiovascular and central nervous system agents. The fluorophenyl group enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability, improving drug efficacy. Commonly employed in asymmetric synthesis routes where stereochemical control is critical for desired pharmacological activity.
