Used as a key chiral intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its cyclopropane structure with fluorinated substituents enhances metabolic stability and binding selectivity in target molecules. Commonly employed in the development of herbicides and fungicides due to its ability to mimic natural substrates while resisting degradation. The stereochemistry supports high enantioselectivity in active ingredients, improving efficacy and reducing environmental impact. Also explored in medicinal chemistry for enzyme inhibition applications.
