Used as a key chiral building block in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of biologically active compounds where stereochemistry plays a critical role in efficacy. Its cyclopropane core with fluorinated substituents enhances metabolic stability and lipophilicity, making it valuable in optimizing drug candidates. Commonly employed in the preparation of enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators due to its conformational rigidity and ability to mimic transition states in biochemical reactions.
