Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. Its strained bicyclic structure with fluorine substitution enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability, making it valuable in drug design. Commonly employed in the development of protease inhibitors and receptor modulators due to its conformational rigidity and improved pharmacokinetic profile. Also utilized in agrochemicals for creating structurally optimized active ingredients with increased potency and selectivity.
