Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents and antidepressants. Its rigid cyclopropane structure combined with the fluorinated aromatic ring enhances metabolic stability and binding selectivity in drug molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analogs and other bioactive compounds where structural constraint improves pharmacokinetic properties. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the design of novel pesticides due to its resistance to degradation and ability to mimic bioactive conformations.
