Used in organic synthesis as a versatile building block for constructing cyclopropane-containing compounds. It serves as an intermediate in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. The compound is particularly valuable in reactions involving cyclopropanation, where the cyclopropane ring is introduced into target molecules. Its tert-butyl ester group provides stability and can be easily removed or transformed under specific conditions, making it useful in multi-step synthetic processes. Additionally, the bromine atom allows for further functionalization through substitution or coupling reactions, enhancing its utility in complex molecule synthesis.
