Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of protease inhibitors. Its cyclopropane core with defined stereochemistry makes it valuable for constructing chiral building blocks in drug design. Commonly employed in research settings for creating analogs in antiviral and anticancer agent development. The nitrophenyl group allows for further functionalization, enabling coupling reactions or reduction to aniline derivatives to expand molecular diversity. Stable under standard handling conditions, it is suitable for use in multi-step organic syntheses.
