Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly in the development of selective herbicides and insecticides. Its cyclopropane structure with a pyridinyl group enhances binding affinity to specific biological targets in pests or unwanted plants, making it valuable in crop protection formulations. The trans-configuration contributes to improved stability and activity compared to cis isomers. It is also explored in research for bioactive molecules due to its ability to mimic natural substrates in enzymatic reactions.
