Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of centrally acting muscle relaxants and analgesic agents. Its structure supports the modulation of neurotransmitter activity, making it valuable in central nervous system (CNS)-targeted drug design. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing cyclopropane-containing bioactive molecules due to enhanced metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in the preparation of analogs for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies in drug discovery programs.
