Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and related analgesic compounds. Its cyclopropane core with functionalized substituents allows for selective binding and improved metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in research settings for developing novel anti-inflammatory agents and in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Also utilized in the preparation of chiral building blocks for asymmetric synthesis.
