Used 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 presence of the cyclopropyl and fluorophenyl groups, which enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing novel drug candidates, especially in antidepressant and antipsychotic research. Also utilized in the preparation of fluorinated organic compounds for use in positron emission tomography (PET) tracer development.
