Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of compounds requiring metabolic stability and enhanced lipophilicity. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group contributes to improved bioavailability and resistance to oxidative degradation, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the preparation of active ingredients in crop protection agents and in the discovery of new drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders. Its strained cyclopropane ring enables unique reactivity useful in ring-opening and cycloaddition reactions for building complex molecular architectures.
