Used primarily as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. Its reactive amidine functional group allows it to participate in cyclization and condensation reactions, making it valuable for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles. It is also employed in the development of agrochemicals and specialty polymers due to its ability to enhance binding affinity and modify molecular polarity. Its strained cyclopropane ring contributes to unique reactivity and conformational rigidity, which can improve the metabolic stability of target molecules in drug design.
