Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active ingredients for central nervous system (CNS) drugs and antiviral agents. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in building complex organic molecules through cross-coupling reactions like Suzuki or Heck reactions. Commonly employed in research and development of new bioactive compounds due to the stability and reactivity of the cyclopropyl and aryl bromide groups. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for creating novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
