Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its cyclopropane structure with a chlorophenyl group enhances metabolic stability and binding selectivity, making it valuable in drug design for neurological disorders. Commonly employed in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where a protected amine is required, allowing for selective reactions in multi-step syntheses. Also utilized in research settings to explore structure-activity relationships in novel therapeutic candidates.
