Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of certain antiviral and anticancer agents. Its cyclopropyl-amino alcohol structure makes it valuable for building bioactive molecules where conformational rigidity enhances target binding. It is also employed in the development of enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators due to its ability to mimic natural amino alcohol motifs in metabolic pathways. Additionally, it serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, enabling optimization of drug candidates.
