Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. Its cyclopropyl and ketone functional groups make it valuable for constructing complex ring systems and modifying molecular frameworks in drug development. Commonly employed in the synthesis of antiviral and antibacterial agents due to the metabolic stability imparted by the cyclopropyl moiety. Also utilized in the development of agrochemicals and specialty chemicals where rigid structural elements enhance activity or selectivity.
