Used primarily as a specialty intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its unique vinyl-cyclopropyl structure enables participation in cycloaddition and radical reactions, making it valuable for constructing complex ring systems. It also finds use in polymer chemistry as a monomer for creating functionalized polystyrene derivatives with enhanced thermal or mechanical properties. Due to the strain in the cyclopropyl ring, it can undergo ring-opening reactions under catalytic conditions, allowing for selective carbon-carbon bond formation in advanced synthetic routes.
