Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. Its strained cyclopropane ring combined with the electron-withdrawing sulfonyl group enhances reactivity, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing sulfonamide-based drug candidates. It is also employed in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides with improved metabolic stability. The fluorine atom allows for fine-tuning of lipophilicity and bioavailability, which is advantageous in optimizing pharmacokinetic properties.
