Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active agents. Its structure allows for selective interactions with biological targets, making it valuable in the creation of novel antidepressants and antipsychotics. The fluorophenyl and cyclopropyl groups enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity, which are beneficial for improving drug efficacy and duration of action. It is also employed in medicinal chemistry research to explore structure-activity relationships in amine-based therapeutics.
