Used as a key chiral intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. Its rigid cyclopropane structure and fluorinated aryl group enhance binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in the development of GABA analogs and anticonvulsant agents due to its ability to mimic amino acid motifs while resisting enzymatic degradation. Also utilized in agrochemicals for constructing stereodefined molecules with improved pesticidal activity.
