Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceutical research targeting central nervous system agents. Its structure supports the development of analogs with potential anticonvulsant or neuroprotective properties. The dioxolane ring acts as a protecting group for ketones or aldehydes during synthesis, enabling selective reactions. The cyclopropane and amide moieties contribute to metabolic stability and binding affinity in drug candidates. It is also employed in the preparation of novel cyclopropane-based derivatives for structure-activity relationship studies.
