Used as a chiral building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals. Its rigid cyclopropane ring and stereochemistry make it valuable for constructing biologically active molecules, including CNS agents and enzyme inhibitors. Commonly employed in asymmetric synthesis and catalysis due to its ability to induce chirality in target compounds. Also utilized in the preparation of peptidomimetics and other bioactive analogs where conformational restraint enhances metabolic stability and receptor selectivity.
