Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its α,β-unsaturated ester structure allows it to participate in Michael addition reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in complex molecule assembly. Commonly employed in the development of active ingredients in crop protection agents due to the reactivity of the cyclopropyl and acrylate moieties. Also utilized in polymer chemistry to modify resin properties, enhancing crosslinking and thermal stability in specialty coatings.
