Used as a key building block in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the design of bioactive molecules and pharmaceuticals. Its rigid bicyclic structure and the presence of a trifluoromethyl group enhance metabolic stability and membrane permeability, making it valuable in optimizing drug candidates. Commonly employed in the development of central nervous system agents, enzyme inhibitors, and receptor modulators. The amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, enabling rapid synthesis of compound libraries for structure-activity relationship studies. Increasingly utilized in agrochemicals and PET tracer development due to favorable physicochemical properties.
