Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where cyclopropyl and benzyl moieties are required. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in creating complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in reactions involving nucleophilic substitution due to the reactive chloromethyl group. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty polymers where aromatic and cyclopropyl ether components enhance stability and reactivity.
