Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where chloroaniline derivatives are required. Its structure allows for further functionalization in drug design, especially in the creation of compounds targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals, including certain herbicides and pesticides, due to its stability and reactivity profile. The cyclopropylmethyl group enhances lipophilicity, which can improve membrane permeability in bioactive molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research and development.
