Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. The iodine substituent allows for cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic systems. The cyclopropanecarboxamide moiety contributes rigidity and metabolic stability, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing enzyme inhibitors or receptor ligands. Commonly employed in the development of radiolabeled compounds for imaging studies due to the presence of iodine. Also serves as a building block in the synthesis of functionalized amides for drug discovery research.
