Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure enables selective interactions with neurotransmitter receptors, making it valuable in developing anxiolytic and antipsychotic agents. The tert-butyl carbamate group acts as a protecting group during peptide synthesis, allowing controlled reaction steps in multi-stage drug manufacturing. The presence of fluorine and trifluoromethyl groups enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability, improving drug efficacy. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its rigid cyclopropane scaffold and tunable electronic properties.
