Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. Its rigid cyclopropane structure contributes to enhanced metabolic stability and binding selectivity in drug molecules. The p-tolyl group improves solubility and absorption properties in the body. Commonly employed in the development of analgesics and psychiatric medications. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the design of bioactive molecules due to its favorable steric and electronic properties.
