Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. Its unique bridged cycloalkane structure with fluorine substitutions enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability, making it valuable in drug design. Commonly employed in the development of analogs for GABA modulators and anticonvulsant agents. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies due to its conformational rigidity and fluorinated motif.
