Used primarily as a research chemical in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules. Its strained cyclopropane ring and phenyl group make it a valuable building block for constructing complex structures in medicinal chemistry. It has been explored in the design of central nervous system agents due to structural similarities to known neuromodulators. Also employed in the synthesis of analogs for structure-activity relationship studies, especially in psychopharmacology research. Not intended for human use or commercial applications.
