Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of neuroactive compounds and antiviral agents. Its strained ring structure and amine functionality make it valuable for building complex molecular architectures in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the preparation of cyclopropane-fused analogs that enhance metabolic stability and receptor selectivity in drug candidates. Also utilized in research settings for exploring novel reaction pathways and stereochemical control in organic synthesis.
