Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the strained cyclopropane ring and the presence of the amine and aryl chloride functionalities. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty organic compounds where rigid molecular frameworks are required.
