Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive compounds, particularly those targeting neurological and psychiatric disorders. Its unique structure allows for the development of molecules with potential therapeutic effects, such as anxiolytics or antidepressants. Additionally, it serves as a building block in organic chemistry for creating complex cyclopropane-containing compounds, which are valuable in drug discovery and medicinal chemistry. Its fluorophenyl group enhances binding affinity and metabolic stability in drug candidates.
