Used in pharmaceutical research as a chiral building block for the synthesis of biologically active compounds. Its cyclopropane structure with defined stereochemistry makes it valuable in developing central nervous system agents, particularly in the design of antidepressants and antipsychotics. The bromophenyl group allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, enabling rapid diversification in drug discovery programs. Frequently employed in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its rigid framework and ability to influence binding affinity and metabolic stability.
