Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of selective enzyme inhibitors. Its cyclopropyl structure with a fluorinated aryl group enhances metabolic stability and binding affinity in drug candidates. Commonly employed in the preparation of central nervous system agents and anti-inflammatory compounds due to its ability to modulate biological activity when incorporated into larger molecules. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry research for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies involving fluorinated analogs.
