Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in antiviral and anticancer drug development. Its structure enables effective binding to specific enzyme targets, enhancing drug potency. Commonly employed in the preparation of pyrimidine-based inhibitors that interfere with nucleic acid metabolism. Also utilized in agrochemicals for developing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and lower environmental impact. Its cyclopropyl group contributes to metabolic stability, making it valuable in optimizing pharmacokinetic properties of active compounds.
