Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its fluorinated cyclopropane structure enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the preparation of antidepressants and anxiolytic drugs due to its ability to modulate neurotransmitter activity. Also utilized in research settings for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of amine-based therapeutics.
