Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. The trans-2-(2,3,5-trifluorophenyl)cyclopropyl structure provides rigidity and stereochemical control, while its fluorinated aromatic ring enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability, making it valuable in drug development. Commonly employed in the preparation of protease inhibitors and receptor modulators due to the steric bulk of the tert-butyl carbamate group, which helps control stereochemistry during peptide-like synthesis. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel enzyme inhibitors.
