Used primarily as a research chemical in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceutical intermediates. Its strained cyclopropane ring bearing an amine group and attached to an aromatic naphthalene system makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing novel bioactive molecules. It serves as a building block in the synthesis of CNS-targeted compounds due to its structural similarity to known neuroactive agents. Also explored in agrochemical research for designing new active ingredients with enhanced stability and binding properties.
