Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceutical research. Its structure supports the development of protease inhibitors and other drug candidates due to the strained cyclopropane ring and fluorinated groups enhancing metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex molecules where steric hindrance and electronic effects are critical. Also utilized in the preparation of specialty agrochemicals and in the exploration of new synthetic routes requiring robust protecting group strategies.
