Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as an intermediate for bioactive compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Its cyclopropane scaffold with difluoromethoxy substitution enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. The tert-butyl carbamate group serves as a protected amine, enabling controlled functionalization during multi-step synthesis. Commonly employed in the preparation of receptor modulators and enzyme inhibitors where structural rigidity and fluorinated aromatic motifs improve target selectivity and pharmacokinetic profiles.
