Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in antidiabetic and antiviral agents. Its rigid cyclopropyl structure with electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms enhances metabolic stability and binding selectivity in drug molecules. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry to improve pharmacokinetic properties such as bioavailability and half-life. Also utilized in the development of agrochemicals where enhanced lipophilicity and resistance to degradation are required.
