Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules with potential antidepressant, anxiolytic, or antipsychotic activity. The fluorinated aromatic ring enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates. It is also employed in the preparation of selective enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators due to its rigid cyclopropyl group, which can improve target binding affinity and selectivity.
